[PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] erofs: avoid infinite loops due to corrupted subpage compact indexes

From: Artem Dinaburg

From: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e13d315ae077bb7c3c6027cc292401bc0f4ec683 ]

Robert reported an infinite loop observed by two crafted images.

The root cause is that `clusterofs` can be larger than `lclustersize`
for !NONHEAD `lclusters` in corrupted subpage compact indexes, e.g.:

blocksize = lclustersize = 512 lcn = 6 clusterofs = 515

Move the corresponding check for full compress indexes to
`z_erofs_load_lcluster_from_disk()` to also cover subpage compact
compress indexes.

It also fixes the position of `m->type >= Z_EROFS_LCLUSTER_TYPE_MAX`
check, since it should be placed right after
`z_erofs_load_{compact,full}_lcluster()`.

[ Backport to 6.6.y: preserve the switch-based full/compact loader and
perform the type and cluster-offset validation after either loader
using z_logical_clusterbits. ]

Fixes: 8d2517aaeea3 ("erofs: fix up compacted indexes for block size < 4096")
Fixes: 1a5223c182fd ("erofs: do sanity check on m->type in z_erofs_load_compact_lcluster()")

This is patch 1 of 2 in the ordered 6.6.y backport series.
This change addresses CVE-2025-68251. 6.6 validates clusterofs only in the
full-index loader, leaving corrupted subpage compact NONHEAD records able
to drive non-progressing lookback.
This needed a target-specific adjustment; I called it out in the bracketed
backport note above.

The fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y, and 7.2.y, but not in 6.6.y.
