We check i_dentry is fetchable and i_ino is earlier in the struct
than i_ino, so it ought to work fine, but it's possible that struct
randomisation has reordered i_ino after i_dentry and the pointer is
just wild enough that i_dentry is fetchable and i_ino isn't.

Also print the inode number if the dentry is invalid.

It's hard to write software that reports what's wrong with
