e2fsck: detect invalid extents at the end of an extent-block
e2fsck does not detect extents which are outside their location in the
extent tree. This can result in a bad extent at the end of an extent-block
not being detected.
From a part of a dump_extents output:
1/ 2 37/ 68 143960 - 146679 123826181 2720
2/ 2 1/ 2 143960 - 146679 123785816 - 123788535 2720
2/ 2 2/ 2 146680 - 147583 123788536 - 123789439 904 Uninit <-bad extent
1/ 2 38/ 68 146680 - 149391 123826182 2712
2/ 2 1/ 2 146680 - 147583 18486 - 19389 904
2/ 2 2/ 2 147584 - 149391 123789440 - 123791247 1808
e2fsck does not detect this bad extent which both overlaps another, valid
extent, and is invalid by being beyond the end of the extent above it in
the tree.
This patch modifies e2fsck to detect this invalid extent and remove it.
