[lvc-project] [PATCH v2 1/1] Return error on corrupted metadata in start_restoring_volume functions

The return values of VDO_ASSERT calls that validate metadata are not acted
upon.

Return UDS_CORRUPT_DATA in case of an error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: a4eb7e255517 ("dm vdo: implement the volume index")

v2: Change approach as per Matthew Sakai's <msakai at redhat.com> suggestion.
Change subject and description accordingly. Also add Fixes tag.
