[BUG] gfs2: allocation warning in gfs2_ri_update

Hi,


I am reporting that WARNING in gfs2_ri_update remains reproducible with a
migrated syzkaller reproducer on Linux 7.2-rc3. The tested HEAD commit is
a13c140cc289c0b7b3770bce5b3ad42ab35074aa.


The reproducer mounts a crafted GFS2 image and processes its resource-group
index during filesystem initialization.


Corrupted resource-index data causes gfs2_ri_update() to request an invalid
or excessive allocation, leading to a page allocator warning.


This looks like insufficient bounds validation of resource-index values
before they are converted into an allocation size.
