[PATCH v4] ocfs2: validate inline xattr size and entry count in ocfs2_xattr_ibody_list

[Deepanshu Kartikey <kartikey406@gmail.com>]

Add comprehensive validation of inline xattr metadata in
ocfs2_xattr_ibody_list() to prevent out-of-bounds access and
use-after-free bugs when processing corrupted inline xattrs.

The patch adds two critical validations:

1. Validates i_xattr_inline_size before use:
   - Ensures it does not exceed block size
   - Ensures it is at least large enough for xattr header
   - Prevents pointer arithmetic with corrupted size values that could
     point outside the inode block

2. Validates xattr entry count (xh_count):
   - Calculates maximum entries that can fit in the inline space
   - Rejects counts that exceed this limit
   - Prevents out-of-bounds array access in subsequent code

Without these checks, a corrupted filesystem with invalid inline xattr
metadata can cause the code to access memory beyond the allocated space.
For example:
- A corrupted i_xattr_inline_size of 0 would cause header pointer
  calculation to point past the end of the block
- A corrupted xh_count of 22 with inline_size of 256 would cause
  array access 7 entries beyond the 15 that actually fit (the syzbot
  reproducer used xh_count of 20041), leading to use-after-free when
  accessing freed memory pages

The validation uses the correct inline_size (from di->i_xattr_inline_size)
rather than block size, ensuring accurate bounds checking for inline
xattrs specifically.

Changes in v4:
 - Corrected commit message example: max entries is 15, not 7
   (pointed out by Heming Zhao)

Changes in v3:
 - Moved validation from ocfs2_xattr_list_entries() to
   ocfs2_xattr_ibody_list() to use correct inline size calculation
   (suggested by Heming Zhao)
 - Added validation of i_xattr_inline_size before use
 - Added validation of xattr entry count against inline space
 - Changed return value to -EFSCORRUPTED for consistency
