Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in the btrfs_qgroup_check_inherit() function where the function skips the whole qgroup inherit check if the qgroup is not enabled which also inadvertently skips basic checks such as num_ref_copies, num_excl_copies, and the size of the btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure. If qgroups are later re-enabled during the same transaction, it can lead to out-of-bounds memory access as the system attempts to use an invalid or corrupted btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure. This can lead to memory corruption or crashes.

And it also pinned it down to commit b5357cb268c4 ("btrfs: qgroup: do not
check qgroup inherit if qgroup is disabled").

[CAUSE]
That offending commit skips the whole qgroup inherit check if qgroup is
not enabled.

But that also skips the very basic checks like
num_ref_copies/num_excl_copies and the structure size checks.

Meaning if a qgroup enable/disable race is happening at the background,
and we pass a btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure when the qgroup is
disabled, the check would be completely skipped.

Then at the time of transaction commitment, qgroup is re-enabled and
btrfs_qgroup_inherit() is going to use the incorrect structure and
causing the above KASAN error.

[FIX]
Make btrfs_qgroup_check_inherit() only skip the source qgroup checks.
So that even if invalid btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure is passed in, we
can still reject invalid ones no matter if qgroup is enabled or not.

Furthermore we do already have an extra safety inside
btrfs_qgroup_inherit(), which would just ignore invalid qgroup sources,
so even if we only skip the qgroup source check we're still safe.
