ocfs2: validate inline data i_size during inode read

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 1524af3685 ]

When reading an inode from disk, ocfs2_validate_inode_block() performs
various sanity checks but does not validate the size of inline data.  If
the filesystem is corrupted, an inode's i_size can exceed the actual
inline data capacity (id_count).

This causes ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_id() to iterate beyond the inline data
buffer, triggering a use-after-free when accessing directory entries from
freed memory.

In the syzbot report:
  - i_size was 1099511627576 bytes (~1TB)
  - Actual inline data capacity (id_count) is typically <256 bytes
  - A garbage rec_len (54648) caused ctx->pos to jump out of bounds
  - This triggered a UAF in ocfs2_check_dir_entry()

Fix by adding a validation check in ocfs2_validate_inode_block() to ensure
inodes with inline data have i_size <= id_count.  This catches the
corruption early during inode read and prevents all downstream code from
operating on invalid data.
