Subject: ext4: add strict range checks while freeing blocks
From: Ritesh Harjani <riteshh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a00b482b82fb098956a5bed22bd7873e56f152f1 upstream.
Currently ext4_mb_clear_bb() & ext4_group_add_blocks() only checks
whether the given block ranges (which is to be freed) belongs to any FS
metadata blocks or not, of the block's respective block group.
But to detect any FS error early, it is better to add more strict
checkings in those functions which checks whether the given blocks
belongs to any critical FS metadata or not within system-zone.
