Syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_truncate_inline.
There are two reasons for this: first, the parameter value passed is greater
than UINT_MAX, second, the start and end parameters of ocfs2_truncate_inline
are "unsigned int".

So, we need to add a sanity check for byte_start and byte_len right before
ocfs2_truncate_inline() in ocfs2_remove_inode_range(), if they are greater
than UINT_MAX return -EFBIG.

Why not use ocfs2_max_inline_data_with_xattr() here? Yes, UINT_MAX indeed
solves overflow problem Syzbot reported but you can find much lowerer
limit if once looked into inline data structures.
Also, ocfs2_truncate_inline() can be enhanced e.g. replace
BUG_ON(start > end) with error out.
