The chain allocator field cl_bpc (blocks per cluster) is read from disk
and used in division operations without validation. A corrupted
filesystem image with cl_bpc=0 causes a divide-by-zero crash in the
kernel:
divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

This patch adds validation in ocfs2_validate_inode_block() to ensure
cl_bpc matches the expected value calculated from the superblock's cluster
size and block size for chain allocator inodes (identified by
OCFS2_CHAIN_FL).
Moving the validation to inode validation time (rather than allocation time)
has several benefits:
- Validates once when the inode is read, rather than on every allocation
- Protects all code paths that use cl_bpc (allocation, resize, etc.)
- Follows the existing pattern of inode validation in OCFS2
- Centralizes validation logic
The validation catches both:
- Zero values that cause divide-by-zero crashes
- Non-zero but incorrect values indicating filesystem corruption or
mismatched filesystem geometry
With this fix, mounting a corrupted filesystem produces:
OCFS2: ERROR (device loop0): ocfs2_validate_inode_block: Inode 74
has corrupted cl_bpc: ondisk=0 expected=16
instead of a kernel crash.
