[Impact]
Mounting a crafted f2fs file system with a segment count in a section
that is less than segs_per_sec causes out-of-boundary memory access
during fs initalization. 

[Test case]
Reproduced bug with syzbot reproducer
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.c?x=102fbac5900000)
with slight modification to target a valid loop device.
Confirmed that after the patches were applied the fs reports that there
are malformed segments/sections and mounting the file system fails, 
which stops the initialization from continuing and preventing the 
out-of-boundary memory access.

[Potential regression]
The patches add checks that are a superset of the previous checks, which
might cause some filesystems that succeeded in mounting to now fail.
