Fix incorrect address reference in btrfs

Browse source 
We encountered a weird random kernel initrd unpacking error on btrfs
and finally found it was caused by incorrect address reference in range
check for type GRUB_BTRFS_EXTENT_REGULAR and the entire result is
unpredictable.

This is a quick fix to make the address reference to the
grub_btrfs_extent_data structure correctly, not the pointer variable
to it.

Any suggestions to this patch is welcome.

* grub-core/fs/btrfs.c (grub_btrfs_extent_read): Fix extent size
check; comparing &data->extent against addresses in the region it
points to is unpredictable.
