Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: Fix possible use-after-free in ext4_find_extent

syzbot reported a use-after-free Read in ext4_find_extent that is hit when
using a corrupted file system. The bug was reported on Android 5.15, but
using the same reproducer triggers the bug on v6.2-rc1 as well.

Fix the use-after-free by checking the extent header magic. An alternative
would be to check the values of EXT4_{FIRST,LAST}_{EXTENT,INDEX} used in
ext4_ext_binsearch() and ext4_ext_binsearch_idx(), so that we make sure
that pointers returned by EXT4_{FIRST,LAST}_{EXTENT,INDEX} don't exceed the
bounds of the extent tree node. But this alternative will not squash
the bug for the cases where eh->eh_entries fit into eh->eh_max. We could
also try to check the sanity of the path, but costs more than checking just
the header magic, so stick to the header magic sanity check.
