'ac->ac_2order' is a user-controlled value used to index into
'grp->bb_counters' and based on the value at that index, 'ac->ac_found'
is written to. Clamp the value right after the bounds check to avoid a
speculative out-of-bounds read of 'grp->bb_counters'.
This also protects the access of the s_mb_offsets and s_mb_maxs arrays
inside mb_find_buddy().
These gadgets were discovered with the help of smatch:
* fs/ext4/mballoc.c:1896 ext4_mb_simple_scan_group() warn: potential
spectre issue 'grp->bb_counters' [w] (local cap)
* fs/ext4/mballoc.c:445 mb_find_buddy() warn: potential spectre issue
'EXT4_SB(e4b->bd_sb)->s_mb_offsets' [r] (local cap)
* fs/ext4/mballoc.c:446 mb_find_buddy() warn: potential spectre issue
'EXT4_SB(e4b->bd_sb)->s_mb_maxs' [r] (local cap)
