  - erofs: fix unsigned underflow in z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap() Some crafted images can have illegal
    (!partial_decoding && m_llen < m_plen) extents, and the LZ4 inplace decompression path can be wrongly hit,
    but it cannot handle (outpages < inpages) properly: outpages - inpages wraps to a large value and the
    subsequent rq->out[] access reads past the decompressed_pages array. However, such crafted cases can
    correctly result in a corruption report in the normal LZ4 non-inplace path. Let's add an additional check
    to fix this for backporting. Reproducible image (base64-encoded gzipped blob):
