Syzbot reported list corruption caused by a double list_add_tail() call on bh->b_assoc_buffers within nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(). Analysis revealed that the root cause was the insertion of a page/folio with a page index of ULONG_MAX into the page cache via the GC ioctl. filemap_get_folios_tag(), called by nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(), repeatedly detects a dirty folio with a page index of ULONG_MAX due to index wrap-around, leading to duplicate processing of dirty buffers. As a preparatory step, the GC ioctl loads the page/folio of the block to be moved during GC and inserts it into the page cache based on information in the nilfs_vdesc structure passed as an argument. Normally, this does not cause issues because the user-space GC library configures the nilfs_vdesc structure properly. However, since there is no range check on the parameters determining the page index, a request with artificially crafted parameters -- such as those generated by Syzbot -- can result in a page/folio being inserted with a page index of ULONG_MAX, triggering the above problem. This resolves the issue by checking the ranges of 'vd_offset' and 'vd_vblocknr' in the nilfs_vdesc structure that determine the page index, thereby preventing the invalid page/folio insertions.

This fixes the list corruption issue recently detected by syzbot, that can occur when out-of-range values are intentionally passed to certain GC ioctl parameters.
