Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_ext_shift_extents

If the starting position of our insert range happens to be in the hole
between the two ext4_extent_idx, because the lblk of the ext4_extent in
the previous ext4_extent_idx is always less than the start, which leads
to the "extent" variable access across the boundary, the following UAF is
triggered:
==================================================================

==================================================================

To solve this issue, when the ee_block of the last extent is less than
the start, exit the loop in advance to avoid UAF.

We can try to reproduce this problem by following the steps below:
1. Create an ext4 containing two ext4_extent_idx
 mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^resize_inode,meta_bg,^sparse_super,^has_journal,^metadata_csum,quota,ea_inode -b 1024 -I 128 /dev/sda 4G
 mount /dev/sda /tmp/test
 touch file
 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/test/file bs=1k count=800000
 sync
 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

2. Create a hole between two ext4_extent_idx, 528482304 is the starting position of idx2
 fallocate -i -o 528482304 -l 10M /tmp/test/file

3. Keep moving right to make variable extent out of bounds
 for i in `seq 0 500000`; do fallocate -i -o $[ 533725184 + 5242880 * i ] -l 10M /tmp/test/file ;done

4. Execute "drop_caches" in another window try to trigger UAF
 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
