mtd: afs: validate v2 image info bounds
The AFS v2 parser uses footer[8] to locate the image information block
inside the current erase block, then uses the image information
region_count to walk entries from a fixed local array. The footer offset
and region count come from flash contents and are not checked against the
erase block or the local image-info array before use.
Reject v2 entries whose image information offset would underflow the
erase block calculation, and reject region counts that cannot fit in the
local image-info array before walking region entries.
