f2fs: fix to cover read extent cache access with lock

syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:

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.
