__ocfs2_find_path() walks down the extent tree and records path by calling
find_path_ins(), which appends entry to path->p_node[]. It only has 5
spots.
A corrupted ocfs2 image whose extent block is pointing to itself causes
__ocfs2_find_path() descent endlessly, writing past the end of
path->p_node[] array.
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in fs/ocfs2/alloc.c:677:14
index 5 is out of range for type 'ocfs2_path_item [5]'
Call Trace:

Commit a406aff8c051 ("ocfs2: validate l_tree_depth to avoid
out-of-bounds access") already restricts el->l_tree_depth to be less than
OCFS2_MAX_PATH_DEPTH, which is equal to 5. However, does not handle the
infinite descent case.
Check if the el->l_tree_depth decreases on each descent. Maximum
descents are restricted to 4 and the path->p_node[] array does not
overflow.
Fixes: dcd0538ff4e8 ("ocfs2: sparse b-tree support")
