Well, the main concern is previously f2fs_iget() won't check validation for inner
inode due to it will skip do_read_inode() - f2fs_check_nid_range(), so that in a
fuzzed image, caller may pass inner ino into f2fs_iget(), result in incorrect use
of inner inode. So I add f2fs_check_nid_range() in prior to f2fs_iget_inner() in
f2fs_iget() as below to detect and avoid this case.
