csum_set() checksums the superblock from just past the csum field up to
&s->d[s->keys], so the length it hands to bch_crc64() comes straight off
disk. d[] only has SB_JOURNAL_BUCKETS (256) entries, but keys is __le16
and can be up to 65535, so a bogus value makes the crc walk far past the
end of the 4k superblock buffer.

syzbot hit this with a superblock that has a valid offset and
magic and garbage everywhere else:

Add a bound check on sb->keys before calculating checksum.
