Details:

The check_blocklists function surely writes "malformed file" error if the
block list contains more than one blocks.

The well-known overlap check algorithm is:

if (s1 < e2  &&  s2 < e1)
  {
    return grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_FS, "malformed file");
  }

Swap (s1 <-> s2, e1 <-> e2) is not needed in this case.
