[GIT PULL] nilfs2 changes for 7.2-rc1

[Viacheslav Dubeyko]

Hello Linus,

This pull request contains fixes of syzbot reported issue and
various small fixes in NILFS2 functionality.

Deepanshu Kartikey has fixed syzbot reported issue of a hung
task in nilfs_transaction_begin(). The root cause is that
user-supplied segment numbers are not validated before
nilfs_clean_segments() begins doing work; the range check on
each segnum is performed deep inside the call chain by
nilfs_sufile_updatev(), which emits a nilfs_warn() per invalid entry
while still holding the segctor lock and the sufile mi_sem.
Fix it by validating the contents of kbufs[4] in nilfs_clean_segments()
immediately after acquiring ns_segctor_sem via
nilfs_transaction_lock().

Hongling Zeng has fixed a smatch warning in nilfs_mkdir() warn.
The patch corrects a semantic issue related to the use of the ERR_PTR
macro that arose from a recent VFS change.

Shuangpeng Bai has fixed a backing_dev_info reference leak.
The setup_bdev_super() already initializes sb->s_bdev and takes a
reference on the block device backing_dev_info when assigning sb-
>s_bdi.
nilfs_fill_super() takes another reference to the same
backing_dev_info and stores it in sb->s_bdi again. The extra
reference is not paired with a matching bdi_put(), since
generic_shutdown_super() releases sb->s_bdi only once.
Drop the redundant bdi_get() in nilfs_fill_super(). The single
reference taken by setup_bdev_super() is enough and is released
during superblock shutdown.
