I don't like to limit the number of indirect extents in a file. Although
4096 is quite a bit, there is a real chance it won't be enough for some
usecases (although I agree that such usecases would be very slow with the
current implementation of UDF anyway). What I'd prefer is to limit the
number of indirect extents to maximum possible sane number. Something like:

(inode->i_size >> inode->i_blkbits) / (extents_per_block) + 1

That way we are sure we don't limit any real use case and we also avoid
infinite loops.
