Sysbot has reported an "slab-out-of-bounds read" error which has been
identified as being caused by a corrupted "ino_num" value read from the
inode. This could be because the metadata block is uncompressed, or
because the "compression" bit has been corrupted (turning a compressed
block into an uncompressed block).
This patch adds additional sanity checks to detect this, and the
following corruption.
1. It checks against corruption of the inodes count. This can either
lead to a larger table to be read, or a smaller than expected
table to be read.
In the case of a too large inodes count, this would often have been
trapped by the existing sanity checks, but this patch introduces
a more exact check, which can identify too small values.
2. It checks the contents of the index table for corruption.
