[BUG]
Running btrfs balance on a corrupt image can trigger a GPF, with KASAN
reporting a wild memory access:
BTRFS warning: tree block not nodesize aligned, start 6179131392 nodesize 16384, can be resolved by a full metadata balance
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xe0009d1000000052: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0x0005088000000290-0x0005088000000297]
Hardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC v2, BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2

[CAUSE]
The corrupt image contains a tree block whose start address (6179131392)
is page-aligned (4 KiB) but NOT nodesize-aligned (16 KiB):
6179131392 % 16384 == 4096
When alloc_extent_buffer() is called for such a block,
check_eb_alignment() detects the nodesize misalignment, but only emits
a one-time btrfs_warn() and returns false without failing the
allocation. This allows the extent buffer to be created with a
misaligned start.
Later, during transaction commit triggered by balance, write_one_eb()
submits the dirty extent buffer for writeback, and
btree_csum_one_bio() is called to checksum it before I/O submission.
That path calls btrfs_header_bytenr(eb), which expands via
BTRFS_SETGET_HEADER_FUNCS to:
folio_address(eb->folios[0]) + offset_in_page(eb->start)
With a nodesize-misaligned start, eb->folios[0] does not correspond to
a valid direct-mapped kernel address. folio_address() returns the
garbage value 0x0005088000000260, and dereferencing +0x30 (the bytenr
field offset in struct btrfs_header) triggers the GPF.
[FIX]
Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() nodesize alignment check at the beginning of
btree_csum_one_bio() and return -EIO for misaligned tree blocks.
btree_csum_one_bio() already guards against corrupted extent buffer
state on the checksum path, and it also revalidates metadata on the
write path. The alignment check follows that pattern and must happen
before the first access to eb->folios[] via btrfs_header_bytenr().
Fixes: 6d3a61945b00 ("btrfs: warn on tree blocks which are not nodesize aligned")

---
An alternative fix of promoting check_eb_alignment() from warn to error
would prevent the misaligned eb from being created at all, but would
break mount and repair workflows: users need to be able to read and
inspect a filesystem containing legacy misaligned tree blocks in order
to run "btrfs balance -m" and correct the alignment.
