I will apply this patch with the following diff applied too, mainly
since some random compiler (gcc 9.2.1) reports a weird warning like
below:

tar.c: In function ‘tarerofs_parse_tar’:
tar.c:697:22: warning: ‘st.st_rdev’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   697 |    inode->u.i_rdev = erofs_new_encode_dev(st.st_rdev);

but st.st_rdev is actually initialized.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
