ext4: fail ext4_iget if special inode unallocated
In ext4_fill_super(), EXT4_ORPHAN_FS flag is cleared after ext4_orphan_cleanup() is executed. Therefore, when __ext4_iget() is called to get an inode whose i_nlink is 0 when the flag exists, no error is returned. If the inode is a special inode, a null pointer dereference may occur. If the value of i_nlink is 0 for any inodes (except boot loader inodes) got by using the EXT4_IGET_SPECIAL flag, the current file system is corrupted. Therefore, make the ext4_iget() function return an error if it gets such an abnormal special inode.
