[ Upstream commit 775c17386a6fd695f999d4cda90e3931386570dd ]

Patch series "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read
callbacks".

ocfs2 validates extent list fields (l_count, l_next_free_rec) at various
points during extent tree traversal.  This is fragile because each caller
must remember to check for corrupted on-disk data before using it.

This series moves those checks into the block read validation callbacks
(ocfs2_validate_dx_root and ocfs2_validate_extent_block), so corrupted
fields are caught early at block read time.  Redundant post-read checks
are then removed.

This patch (of 4):

Move the extent list l_count validation from ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec()
into ocfs2_validate_dx_root(), so that corrupted on-disk fields are caught
early at block read time rather than during directory lookups.

Additionally, add a l_next_free_rec <= l_count check to prevent
out-of-bounds access when iterating over extent records.

Both checks are skipped for inline dx roots (OCFS2_DX_FLAG_INLINE), which
use dr_entries instead of dr_list.
