Hou Tao a2c2f0826e ext4: limit the number of blocks in one ADD_RANGE TLV
Now EXT4_FC_TAG_ADD_RANGE uses ext4_extent to track the
newly-added blocks, but the limit on the max value of
ee_len field is ignored, and it can lead to BUG_ON as
shown below when running command "fallocate -l 128M file"
on a fast_commit-enabled fs:

  kernel BUG at fs/ext4/ext4_extents.h:199!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  CPU: 3 PID: 624 Comm: fallocate Not tainted 5.14.0-rc6+ #1
  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
  RIP: 0010:ext4_fc_write_inode_data+0x1f3/0x200
  Call Trace:
   ? ext4_fc_write_inode+0xf2/0x150
   ext4_fc_commit+0x93b/0xa00
   ? ext4_fallocate+0x1ad/0x10d0
   ext4_sync_file+0x157/0x340
   ? ext4_sync_file+0x157/0x340

   do_syscall_64+0x3b/0xc0
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

Simply fixing it by limiting the number of blocks
in one EXT4_FC_TAG_ADD_RANGE TLV.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
