Subject: [PATCH V2] fs: improve the check of whether i_link has been set

syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in pick_link. [1]

First, i_link and i_dir_seq are in the same union, they share the same memory
address, and i_dir_seq will be updated during the execution of walk_component,
which makes the value of i_link equal to i_dir_seq.
In this case, setting i_dir_seq is triggered by move_mount, and the calltrace
is as follows:
move_mount()->
  user_path_at()->
    filename_lookup()->
      path_lookupat()->
        lookup_last()->
          walk_component()->
            __lookup_slow()->
              ntfs_lookup()->
                d_splice_alias()->
                  __d_add()->
                    end_dir_add()

In pick_link(), the simple "if (!i_link)" is used to determine whether i_link
has been set, which is not rigorous enough.

On the other hand, the mode value of the symlink inode becomes REG because
attr_set_size() fails to set the attribute and calls ntfs_bad_inode().
By confirming that the i_link pointer value is valid, the null-ptr-deref
problem in pick_link can be avoided.
