xfs: Directory's data fork extent counter can never overflow
The maximum file size that can be represented by the data fork extent counter
in the worst case occurs when all extents are 1 block in length and each block
is 1KB in size.
With XFS_MAX_EXTCNT_DATA_FORK_SMALL representing maximum extent count and with
1KB sized blocks, a file can reach upto,
(2^31) * 1KB = 2TB
This is much larger than the theoretical maximum size of a directory
i.e. XFS_DIR2_SPACE_SIZE * 3 = ~96GB.
Since a directory's inode can never overflow its data fork extent counter,
this commit removes all the overflow checks associated with
it. xfs_dinode_verify() now performs a rough check to verify if a diretory's
data fork is larger than 96GB.
