The issue is caused when the value of lp becomes greater than
CTLTREESIZE which is the max size of stree. Adding a simple check
solves this issue.

Dave:
As the function returns a void, good error handling
would require a more intrusive code reorganization, so I modified
Osama’s patch at use WARN_ON_ONCE for lack of a cleaner option.

The patch is tested via syzbot.
