The log recovery code increments array indices based on bits set in
blf_data_map without verifying that the indices stay within the bounds
of the item->ri_buf array.

Since blf_data_map is from untrusted log data, a malicious log could set
many bits while ri_total is small, causing array index overflow.

This can result in an out-of-bounds access during log recovery, causing
a kernel crash or memory corruption.

This patch adds array bounds checking for ri_buf access in
xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer() and xlog_recover_do_inode_buffer().

The check in xlog_recover_do_inode_buffer() is placed right before the
actual array access, not after incrementing the index, to avoid false
positives when processing the last valid region.
