Marking the boot loader inode as a bad inode here is useless,
EXT4_IGET_BAD allows us to get a bad boot loader inode.
In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to call lock_two_nondirectories()
here to determine if the inode is a regular file or not, since the logic
for dealing with non-regular files comes after the locking, so calling
lock_two_inodes() directly here will suffice.
Merry Christmas!
