I have a patch queued (not yet sent) that makes this patch obsolete.

Basically UBSAN reports further bugs because we fail to test
e + e->next_offset <= limit.

Since e->next_offset not only is the next offset but (implicitly) also
the size of this rule check_entry_size_and_hooks() should check that
the alleged rule size is at least the limit (end-of-blob).
