Subject: [PATCH][next] btrfs: inode: Fix uninitialized variable bug

geom.len is being used without being properly initialized, previously.

Fix this by placing ASSERT(geom.len <= INT_MAX); after geom.len has been
initialized.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1491912 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 1eb52c8bd8d6 ("btrfs: get rid of one layer of bios in direct I/O")
