This is a different panic (your first one was in lockmgr()).  This one I
don't really know what is wrong.  It gets an E2BIG error trying to ask
NTFS for the raw offset of the file's block on disk via ntfs_readattr()
which means it asked for too much of the attribute (so to speak).  I
could see this happening perhaps if it walked off the end of the file,
but ntfs_strategy() already checks for that.
