Syzbot reported an issue with ext4 extents. The reproducer creates a corrupted ext4 fs image in memory, and mounts it as a loop device. It invokes the ext4_cache_extents() and ext4_find_extent(), which eventually triggers a BUG() in ext4_es_end() causing a kernel crash. It triggers on mainline, and every kernel version back to v4.14. Add a call ext4_ext_check_inode() in ext4_find_extent() to prevent the crash.
