ZhengYuan Huang b17b79ff89 btrfs: reject root items with drop_progress and zero drop_level
[BUG]
When recovering relocation at mount time, merge_reloc_root() and
btrfs_drop_snapshot() both use BUG_ON(level == 0) to guard against
an impossible state: a non-zero drop_progress combined with a zero
drop_level in a root_item, which can be triggered:

The bug is reproducible on 7.0.0-rc2-next-20260310 with our dynamic
metadata fuzzing tool that corrupts btrfs metadata at runtime.

[CAUSE]
A non-zero drop_progress.objectid means an interrupted
btrfs_drop_snapshot() left a resume point on disk, and in that case
drop_level must be greater than 0 because the checkpoint is only
saved at internal node levels.

Although this invariant is enforced when the kernel writes the root
item, it is not validated when the root item is read back from disk.
That allows on-disk corruption to provide an invalid state with
drop_progress.objectid != 0 and drop_level == 0.

When relocation recovery later processes such a root item,
merge_reloc_root() reads drop_level and hits BUG_ON(level == 0). The
same invalid metadata can also trigger the corresponding BUG_ON() in
btrfs_drop_snapshot().

[FIX]
Fix this by validating the root_item invariant in tree-checker when
reading root items from disk: if drop_progress.objectid is non-zero,
drop_level must also be non-zero. Reject such malformed metadata with
-EUCLEAN before it reaches merge_reloc_root() or btrfs_drop_snapshot()
and triggers the BUG_ON.

After the fix, the same corruption is correctly rejected by tree-checker
and the BUG_ON is no longer triggered.
