Phillip Lougher fdb24a820a Squashfs: check metadata block offset is within range
Syzkaller reports a "general protection fault in squashfs_copy_data"

This is ultimately caused by a corrupted index look-up table, which
produces a negative metadata block offset.

This is subsequently passed to squashfs_copy_data (via
squashfs_read_metadata) where the negative offset causes an out of bounds
access.

The fix is to check that the offset is within range in
squashfs_read_metadata.  This will trap this and other cases.
