Yeah.

z_erofs_extent_lookback() will (lookback) read new lcn in
z_erofs_load_lcluster_from_disk() so it won't be covered by
the original z_erofs_map_blocks_fo().

I think this check can be resolved in
z_erofs_load_lcluster_from_disk() instead but maybe address
for the next cycle? since there are already enough features
for this cycle and I have to make sure no major issues....
