btrfs: lzo: reject compressed segment that overflows the compressed input
lzo_decompress_bio() validates each on-disk segment length seg_len only
against the workspace cbuf size, not against the compressed input size
(compressed_len, the total folio bytes of the bio). A crafted extent can
carry a segment whose seg_len passes the cbuf check but runs past the end
of the bio, so copy_compressed_segment() walks off the last folio:
get_current_folio() then returns the NULL folio from bio_next_folio(), and
with CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT disabled (default) folio_size(NULL) faults.

copying it, treating it as corruption like the other on-disk validation
failures in this function.
