This replaces the WARN_ONs by error output, so that a kernel, booted with panic_on_warn, does not panic. This patch also replaces the detected return code -ENOENT with another internal code -EINVAL to notify the bmap layer of metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees -EINVAL, it handles the abnormal situation with nilfs_bmap_convert_error() and finally returns code -EIO as it should.
