Zhang Cen 42b00a651a btrfs: free-space-tree: reject mismatched extent and bitmap items
btrfs_load_free_space_tree() reads FREE_SPACE_INFO once and then chooses
the bitmap or extent loader for all following free-space records until the
next FREE_SPACE_INFO item. Those loaders currently enforce the selected
record type only with ASSERT().

On production builds without CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT, a malformed free-space
tree can therefore be decoded in the wrong mode. An EXTENT item can reach
btrfs_free_space_test_bit() as bitmap data, while a BITMAP item can be
added as a full free extent. The latter corrupts the in-memory free-space
cache and the former can read beyond the item payload.

Validate every post-info key before decoding it. Reject keys whose type
does not match the mode selected by FREE_SPACE_INFO, and reject keys
whose range extends past the block group, returning -EUCLEAN instead of
feeding the wrong record type to the bitmap or extent decoder.

Also reject zero-length FREE_SPACE_EXTENT items in tree-checker, matching
the existing FREE_SPACE_BITMAP zero-length check. This keeps the loader
range check simple and prevents a zero-length extent item from being a
valid on-disk free-space record.
