f2fs: fix to cover read extent cache access with lock

syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sanity_check_extent_cache+0x370/0x410 fs/f2fs/extent_cache.c:46

We missed to cover sanity_check_extent_cache() w/ extent cache lock,
so, below race case may happen, result in use after free issue.

- f2fs_iget
 - do_read_inode
  - f2fs_init_read_extent_tree
  : add largest extent entry in to cache
					- shrink
					 - f2fs_shrink_read_extent_tree
					  - __shrink_extent_tree
					   - __detach_extent_node
					   : drop largest extent entry
  - sanity_check_extent_cache
  : access et->largest w/o lock

let's refactor sanity_check_extent_cache() to avoid extent cache access
and call it before f2fs_init_read_extent_tree() to fix this issue.
