fs/ext2: Rework out-of-bounds read for inline and external extents
Previously, the number of extent entries was not properly capped based
on the actual available space. This could lead to insufficient reads for
external extents, since the computation was based solely on the inline
extent layout.
In this patch, when processing the extent header, we determine whether
the header is stored inline (i.e., at inode->blocks.dir_blocks) or in an
external extent block. We then clamp the number of entries accordingly
(using max_inline_ext for inline extents and max_external_ext for
external extent blocks).
This change ensures that only the valid number of extent entries is
processed, preventing out-of-bound reads and potential filesystem
corruption.
