Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference at nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level()

If the i_mode field in inode of metadata files is corrupted on disk,
it can cause the initialization of bmap structure, which should have
been called from nilfs_read_inode_common(), not to be called.  This
causes a lockdep warning followed by a NULL pointer dereference at
nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level().

This patch fixes these issues by adding a missing sanitiy check for
the i_mode field of metadata file's inode.
