BUG_ON(es->es_lblk + es->es_len < es->es_lblk)

The error ext4 extents is as follows: 0af3 0300 0400 0000 00000000 extent_header 00000000 0100 0000 12000000 extent1 00000000 0100 0000 18000000 extent2 02000000 0400 0000 14000000 extent3

In the ext4_valid_extent_entries function, if prev is 0, no error is returned even if lblock<=prev. This was intended to skip the check on the first extent, but in the error image above, prev=0+1-1=0 when checking the second extent, so even though lblock<=prev, the function does not return an error. As a result, bug_ON occurs in __es_tree_search and the system panics.

To solve this problem, we only need to check that: 1. The lblock of the first extent is not less than 0. 2. The lblock of the next extent is not less than
the next block of the previous extent. The same applies to extent_idx.
