Subject: [PATCH] udf: limit the maximum number of allocation extents

Hit this kernel hang too while fuzzing. Please see this as a tentative
patch indicating where the problem is -- I don't really know much about
UDF or what an allocation extent is or whether there are more problems
in the same neighbourhood. It looks like udf_truncate_extents() might
also have a similar problem?
