CVE-2024-42305

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: check dot and dotdot of dx_root before making dir indexed

Syzbot reports a issue as follows:
============================================
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffed11022e24fe

============================================

The immediate cause of this problem is that there is only one valid dentry
for the block to be split during do_split, so split==0 results in out of
bounds accesses to the map triggering the issue.

    do_split
      unsigned split
      dx_make_map
       count = 1
      split = count/2 = 0;
      continued = hash2 == map[split - 1].hash;
       ---> map[4294967295]

The maximum length of a filename is 255 and the minimum block size is 1024,
so it is always guaranteed that the number of entries is greater than or
equal to 2 when do_split() is called.

But syzbot's crafted image has no dot and dotdot in dir, and the dentry
distribution in dirblock is as follows:

  bus     dentry1          hole           dentry2           free
|xx--|xx-------------|...............|xx-------------|...............|
0   12 (8+248)=256  268     256     524 (8+256)=264 788     236     1024

So when renaming dentry1 increases its name_len length by 1, neither hole
nor free is sufficient to hold the new dentry, and make_indexed_dir() is
called.

In make_indexed_dir() it is assumed that the first two entries of the
dirblock must be dot and dotdot, so bus and dentry1 are left in dx_root
because they are treated as dot and dotdot, and only dentry2 is moved
to the new leaf block. That's why count is equal to 1.

Therefore add the ext4_check_dx_root() helper function to add more sanity
checks to dot and dotdot before starting the conversion to avoid the above
issue.
