[f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2] fsck.f2fs: sanitize invalid segment type during block update

From: Daeho Jeong <[email protected]>

If an invalid segment type (type < 0 || type >= NO_CHECK_TYPE) is read
from SIT during block update, update_block() now validates the type,
reports corruption via ASSERT_MSG(), fixes se->type directly, and falls
back to a valid active curseg type based on its SSA summary block type
when fix_on is enabled. find_next_free_block() also validates want_type to
prevent out-of-bounds accesses.

v2: used ASSERT_MSG() instead of ERR_MSG().
    used the correct type info for fixed_type.
    fixed se->type on top of fixing the local type only.
