Remove NTFS attribute verification patch

The removed patch was part of the CVE patches ported recently into Fedora but
unfortunately this is causing segfaults when generating the grub configuration
file. At some point the same patch will come back with the corresponding fix but
for the time being, it is removed. Note that patch numeration did not change on
purpose: patch will be introduced again so need to mess with the numeration.

Resolves: #2350327

Subject: [PATCH] fs/ntfs: Implement attribute verification
It was possible to read OOB when an attribute had a size that exceeded
the allocated buffer. This resolves that by making sure all attributes
that get read are fully in the allocated space by implementing
a function to validate them.
Defining the offsets in include/grub/ntfs.h but they are only used in
the validation function and not across the rest of the NTFS code.
