Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: don't remove reserved inodes in ext4_unlink()

Corrupted ext4_dir_entry_2 struct on disk may have wrong inode number,
when the inode number is 8 (EXT4_JOURNAL_INO) and the file is deleted,
the journal inode is gone, and unmounting such a fs could trigger the
following BUG_ON() in start_this_handle().

	BUG_ON(journal->j_flags & JBD2_UNMOUNT);

Check inode number in ext4_unlink() and return error if the inode number
is reserved or nonexistent(except EXT4_ROOT_INO, as Ted pointed out that
it's a security hole).

Tested by removing a reserved inode(modify the ondisk structure by hand)
and unmounting the fs. Inodes 1-10 have been tested. Also tested by
xfstests.

(This is a v2 of an old patch, I forgot about the patch..)

v2: exempt the root inode as Ted suggested, although unlink("/") would be
catched by vfs and unlink a corrupt file with root inode number would be
catched by ext4_lookup, and won't reach ext4_unlink() in both cases

	EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_lookup:1441: inode #2: comm rm: 'testfile' linked to parent dir
	Aborting journal on device loop0-8.
	EXT4-fs (loop0): Remounting filesystem read-only
	EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_lookup:1441: inode #2: comm rm: 'testfile' linked to parent dir
