xfs: fix untrusted inode number lookup
Commit 7124fe0a5b619d65b739477b3b55a20bf805b06d ("xfs: validate untrusted inode
numbers during lookup") changes the inode lookup code to do btree lookups for
untrusted inode numbers. This change made an invalid assumption about the
alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the
cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered
invalid when they were actually valid.
The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr
and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot
inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently
exercised to uncover this intermittent problem.
Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the
record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an
incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid.
