Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: add check for free bits before allocation in ocfs2_move_extent()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

Add a check to verify the group descriptor has enough free bits before
attempting allocation in ocfs2_move_extent(). This prevents a kernel
BUG_ON crash in ocfs2_block_group_set_bits() when the move_extents ioctl
is called on a crafted or corrupted filesystem.

The existing validation in ocfs2_validate_gd_self() only checks static
metadata consistency (bg_free_bits_count <= bg_bits) when the descriptor
is first read from disk. However, during move_extents operations,
multiple allocations can exhaust the free bits count below the requested
allocation size, triggering BUG_ON(le16_to_cpu(bg->bg_free_bits_count)
num_bits).

The debug trace shows the issue clearly:
  - Block group 32 validated with bg_free_bits_count=427
  - Repeated allocations decreased count: 427 -> 171 -> 43 -> ... -> 1
  - Final request for 2 bits with only 1 available triggers BUG_ON

By adding an early check in ocfs2_move_extent() right after
ocfs2_find_victim_alloc_group(), we return -ENOSPC gracefully instead of
crashing the kernel. This also avoids unnecessary work in
ocfs2_probe_alloc_group() and __ocfs2_move_extent() when the allocation
will fail.

v2:
  - Fixed missing '<' in commit message (Joseph)
  - Moved check right after ocfs2_find_victim_alloc_group() to fail
    early and avoid unnecessary work (Joseph)
