Subject: [PATCH V3] fs/ntfs3: check if the inode is bad before creating symlink

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.

Secondly, the chmod execution failed, which resulted in setting the mode value
of file0's inode to REG when executing ntfs_bad_inode.

Third, when creating a symbolic link using the file0 whose inode has been marked
as bad, it is not determined whether its inode is bad, which ultimately leads to
null-ptr-deref when performing a mount operation on the symbolic link bus because
the i_link value is equal to i_dir_seq=2. 

Note: ("file0, bus" are defined in reproducer [2])

To avoid null-ptr-deref in pick_link, when creating a symbolic link, first check
whether the inode of file is already bad.
