Hey Haimin,

This is rather suspicious. I'd really like to see the syzbot reproducer
for this. Which brings us to:

what's the full syzbot link? This is hacked off.

In any case, this seems like the wrong fix tapering over the real issue.
The issue here seems to me some sort of corruption going on. The root
inode should not be a special file. So reiserfs should do it like xfs,
ext4, btrfs etc. and verify one way or the other that the root inode is
a directory and return an error when it isn't. Sm like this (completely
untested and produced with marginal knowledge about reiserfs):
