Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Decompressors: Fix header validation in decompress_unlzma.c

From: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@...aani.org>

Validation of header.pos calls error() but doesn't make the
function return to indicate an error to the caller. Instead
the decoding is attempted with invalid header.pos. This
fixes it.
