fsverity: explicitly check for buffer overflow in build_merkle_tree()
The new Merkle tree construction algorithm is a bit fragile in that it
may overflow the 'root_hash' array if the tree actually generated does
not match the calculated tree parameters.
This should never happen unless there is a filesystem bug that allows
the file size to change despite deny_write_access(), or a bug in the
Merkle tree logic itself. Regardless, it's fairly easy to check for
buffer overflow here, so let's do so.
This is a robustness improvement only; this case is not currently known
to be reachable. I've added a Fixes tag anyway, since I recommend that
this be included in kernels that have the mentioned commit.
Fixes: 56124d6 ("fsverity: support enabling with tree block size < PAGE_SIZE")
