    xfs: prevent kernel crash due to corrupted inode log format
    
    Andras Korn reported an oops on log replay causes by a corrupted
    xfs_inode_log_format_t passing a 0 size to kmem_zalloc.  This patch handles
    to small or too large numbers of log regions gracefully by rejecting the
    log replay with a useful error message.
