If the i_mode field in inode of metadata files is corrupted on disk, it can cause the initialization of bmap structure, which should have been called from nilfs_read_inode_common(), not to be called. This causes a lockdep warning followed by a NULL pointer dereference at nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level(). This patch fixes these issues by adding a missing sanitiy check for the i_mode field of metadata file's inode.
