f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly

The root cause is we applied both v1 and v2 of the patch, v2 is the right
fix, so it needs to revert v1 in order to fix reported issue.

v1:
commit d48a7b3a72f1 ("f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly")
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230109034920.492914-1-chao@kernel.org/

v2:
commit 269d11948100 ("f2fs: fix to do sanity check on extent cache correctly")
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230207134808.1827869-1-chao@kernel.org/
