Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix signed vs unsigned comparison in ext4_valid_extent()

Due to a signed vs unsigned comparison, an invalid extent where
ee_block (the logical block) is so large that lblk + len overflow
wasn't getting flagged as invalid.

As a result, we tripped the BUG_ON(end < lblk) in
ext4_es_cache_extent() when trying to mount a file system with a
corrupted journal inode was corrupted.
