ocfs2: validate i_refcount_loc when refcount flag is set

Add validation in ocfs2_validate_inode_block() to check that if an inode
has OCFS2_HAS_REFCOUNT_FL set, it must also have a valid i_refcount_loc.
A corrupted filesystem image can have this inconsistent state, which later
triggers a BUG_ON in ocfs2_remove_refcount_tree() when the inode is being
wiped during unlink.

Catch this corruption early during inode validation to fail gracefully
instead of crashing the kernel.
