[f2fs-dev] [PATCH 2/3] fsck.f2fs: sanity check i_extra_isize correctly

In fsck_chk_inode_blk(), fsck.f2fs checks whether i_extra_isize is
larger than 4 * DEF_ADDRS_PER_INODE. However, this upper threshold is
too loose and fails to check the lower boundary or 4-byte alignment.

When an inode has a corrupted i_extra_isize (e.g. 3692), it bypasses
the sanity check. Subsequent calculation in addrs_per_page() causes an
unsigned integer underflow (CUR_ADDRS_PER_INODE - get_inline_xattr_addrs),
resulting in a huge loop bound in fsck_chk_inode_blk() and out-of-bounds
heap reads and writes.

This patch fixes the issue by:
1. Defining F2FS_MIN_EXTRA_ATTR_SIZE in include/f2fs_fs.h.
2. Checking i_extra_isize against F2FS_MIN_EXTRA_ATTR_SIZE,
   F2FS_TOTAL_EXTRA_ATTR_SIZE, and 4-byte alignment, matching the
   kernel-side sanity_check_inode() logic.
