OK, so based on syzbot results this seems to be a bug in
nilfs_evict_inode() (likely caused by corrupted filesystem so that root
inode's link count was 0 and hence was getting deleted on iput()). I guess
nilfs maintainers need to address these with more consistency checks of
metadata when loading them...
