[PATCH] nilfs2: reject CLEAN_SEGMENTS ioctl with out-of-range segment numbers

Syzbot reported a hung task in nilfs_transaction_begin() where multiple
tasks performing chmod() on a nilfs2 mount blocked for over 143 seconds
waiting to acquire ns_segctor_sem for read:

  INFO: task syz.0.17:5918 blocked for more than 143 seconds.
  Call Trace:

The writer holding ns_segctor_sem was a concurrent NILFS_IOCTL_CLEAN_SEGMENTS
caller, stuck inside printk while emitting per-element warnings from
nilfs_sufile_updatev():

   __nilfs_msg+0x373/0x450 fs/nilfs2/super.c:78
   nilfs_sufile_updatev+0x21c/0x6d0 fs/nilfs2/sufile.c:186

   nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments fs/nilfs2/ioctl.c:922 [inline]
   nilfs_ioctl+0x261f/0x2780

The root cause is that nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments() does not validate
the user-supplied segment numbers in kbufs[4] before calling
nilfs_clean_segments(), which acquires ns_segctor_sem for write.  The
range check on each segnum is performed deep inside the call chain by
nilfs_sufile_updatev(), which emits a nilfs_warn() per invalid entry
while still under the segctor lock and the sufile mi_sem.  Under load
(repeated invocations across multiple mounts saturating the global
printk path), the cumulative printk latency keeps ns_segctor_sem held
long enough to trip the hung_task watchdog, blocking concurrent
operations such as chmod() that need ns_segctor_sem for read.

Fix by validating the contents of kbufs[4] in the ioctl entry path,
before any FS-wide lock is acquired.  Out-of-range segment numbers are
rejected with -EINVAL synchronously, with no work performed under
ns_segctor_sem.
