btrfs: extent_io: do extra check for extent buffer read write functions

Although we have start, len check for extent buffer reader/write (e.g.
read_extent_buffer()), these checks have limitations:

- No overflow check
  Values like start = 1024 len = -1024 can still pass the basic
   (start + len) > eb->len check.

- Checks are not consistent
  For read_extent_buffer() we only check (start + len) against eb->len.
  While for memcmp_extent_buffer() we also check start against eb->len.

- Different error reporting mechanism
  We use WARN() in read_extent_buffer() but BUG() in
  memcpy_extent_buffer().

- Still modify memory if the request is obviously wrong
  In read_extent_buffer() even we find (start + len) > eb->len, we still
  call memset(dst, 0, len), which can easily cause memory access error
  if start + len overflows.

To address above problems, this patch creates a new common function to
check such access, check_eb_range().

- Add overflow check
  This function checks start, start + len against eb->len and overflow
  check.

- Unified checks

- Unified error reports
  Will call WARN() if CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG is configured.
  And also do btrfs_warn() message for non-debug build.

- Exit ASAP if check fails
  No more possible memory corruption.

- Add extra comment for @start @len used in those functions as it's
  sometimes confused with the logical addressing instead of a range
  inside the eb space
