In the syzbot reproducer, the hfs_cat_rec for the root dir has type HFS_CDR_FIL after being read with hfs_bnode_read() in hfs_super_fill(). This indicates it should be used as an hfs_cat_file, which is 102 bytes. Only the first 70 bytes of that struct are initialized, however, because the entrylength passed into hfs_bnode_read() is still the length of a directory record. This causes uninitialized values to be used later on, when the hfs_cat_rec union is treated as the larger hfs_cat_file struct. Add a check to make sure the retrieved record has the correct type for the root directory (HFS_CDR_DIR).
