Subject: [PATCH v2] fs: gfs2: add validation checks for size of superblock

In gfs2_check_sb(), no validation checks are performed with regards to
the size of the superblock.
syzkaller detected a slab-out-of-bounds bug that was primarily caused
because the block size for a superblock was set to zero.
A valid size for a superblock is a power of 2 between 512 and PAGE_SIZE.
Performing validation checks and ensuring that the size of the superblock
is valid fixes this bug.

Reported-by: [email protected]
Tested-by: [email protected]
Suggested-by: Andrew Price <[email protected]>
Signed-off-by: Anant Thazhemadam <[email protected]>

Changes in v2:

* Completely dropped the changes proposed in v1. Instead,
validity checks for superblock size have been introduced.
(Suggested by Andrew Price<[email protected]>)

* Addded a "Suggested-by" tag accrediting the patch idea to
Andrew. If there's any issue with that, please let me know.

* Changed the commit header and commit message appropriately.

* Updated "Reported-by" and "Tested-by" tags to the same instance
of the bug that was detected earlier (non consequential change).
