In xfs_dir2_data_use_free, we examine on-disk metadata and ASSERT if
it doesn't make sense.  Since a carefully crafted fuzzed image can cause
the kernel to crash after blowing a bunch of assertions, let's move
those checks into a validator function and rig everything up to return
EFSCORRUPTED to userspace.  Found by lastbit fuzzing ltail.bestcount via
xfs/391.

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
