btrfs: export: handle invalid inode or root reference in btrfs_get_parent()
[ Upstream commit 26b66d1d366a375745755ca7365f67110bbf6bd5 ]
The get_parent handler looks up a parent of a given dentry, this can be
either a subvolume or a directory. The search is set up with offset -1
but it's never expected to find such item, as it would break allowed
range of inode number or a root id. This means it's a corruption (ext4
also returns this error code).
