The compiler attribute __counted_by_ptr associates a pointer field of a
struct with a sibling field within the same struct that specifies the
element count of the allocated memory. This enables KASAN and fortified
bounds-checking to detect out-of-bounds accesses to the pointer field at
runtime.

We can add the __counted_by_ptr attribute to the 'forward' and 'reverse'
pointer fields of 'struct uid_gid_map', which are counted by
'nr_extents'. Since 'nr_extents' is defined in a sibling anonymous
struct inside an anonymous union, the nearest common non-anonymous
struct level is 'struct uid_gid_map' itself, which is supported by the
compiler.

However, doing so has runtime implications. In the original
implementation of insert_extent(), elements are written to
map->forward[map->nr_extents] before map->nr_extents is incremented:

        if (map->nr_extents < UID_GID_MAP_MAX_BASE_EXTENTS)
                dest = &map->extent[map->nr_extents];
        else
                dest = &map->forward[map->nr_extents];

        *dest = *extent;
        map->nr_extents++;

At the time of writing to 'map->forward[map->nr_extents]',
map->nr_extents is still 5, but we are accessing index 5 (which is the
6th element). Under __counted_by_ptr(nr_extents), the compiler and
KASAN expect the accessed index to be strictly less than
map->nr_extents. Therefore, accessing index 5 when the count is 5
triggers an out-of-bounds panic/trap at runtime.

To resolve this, insert_extent() is refactored to increment
map->nr_extents first, and then use map->nr_extents - 1 as the index:

        map->nr_extents++;
        if (map->nr_extents <= UID_GID_MAP_MAX_BASE_EXTENTS)
                dest = &map->extent[map->nr_extents - 1];
        else
                dest = &map->forward[map->nr_extents - 1];

        *dest = *extent;
