f2fs: fix to do sanity check on direct node in truncatednode()

syzbot reports below bug:

The root cause is, inodeA references inodeB via inodeB's ino, once inodeA is truncated, it calls truncatednode() to truncate data blocks in inodeB's node page, it traverse mapping data from node->i.iaddr[0] to node->i.iaddr[ADDRSPERBLOCK() - 1], result in out-of-boundary access.

This patch fixes to add sanity check on dnode page in truncatednode(), so that, it can help to avoid triggering such issue, and once it encounters such issue, it will record newly introduced ERRORINVALIDNODEREFERENCE error into superblock, later fsck can detect such issue and try repairing.

Also, it removes f2fstruncatedatablocks() for cleanup due to the function has only one caller, and uses f2fstruncatedatablocksrange() instead.

The issue was bisected to:

commit d48a7b3a72f121655d95b5157c32c7d555e44c05 Author: Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org> Date: Mon Jan 9 03:49:20 2023 +0000

f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly

The root cause is we applied both v1 and v2 of the patch, v2 is the right fix, so it needs to revert v1 in order to fix reported issue.

v1: commit d48a7b3a72f1 ("f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly") https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230109034920.492914-1-chao@kernel.org/

v2: commit 269d11948100 ("f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly") https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230207134808.1827869-1-chao@kernel.org/
