[GIT PULL 07/12 for v7.0] vfs minix

[Christian Brauner]

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This contains minix changes for this cycle.

Add required sanity checking to minix_check_superblock() The minix
filesystem driver does not validate several superblock fields before
using them during mount, allowing a crafted filesystem image to trigger
out-of-bounds accesses (reported by syzbot).

Consolidate and strengthen superblock validation in
minix_check_superblock().

/* Testing */

gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
Debian clang version 19.1.7 (3+b1)

No build failures or warnings were observed.
