Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: tree-checker: fix the incorrect inode ref size check

[BUG]
Inside check_inode_ref(), we need to make sure every structure,
including the btrfs_inode_extref header, is covered by the item.  But
our code is incorrectly using "sizeof(iref)", where @iref is just a
pointer.

This means "sizeof(iref)" will always be "sizeof(void *)", which is much
smaller than "sizeof(struct btrfs_inode_extref)".

This will allow some bad inode extrefs to sneak in, defeating tree-checker.

[FIX]
Fix the typo by calling "sizeof(*iref)", which is the same as
"sizeof(struct btrfs_inode_extref)", and will be the correct behavior we
want.
