Sometimes we can get a cached meta_inode which has no aops yet. Let's set it all the time to fix the below panic.

That leads f2fs to find an ino=2 with the previous superblock point used by reiserfs. That stale inode has no valid mapping that f2fs can use, result in kernel panic. This patch adds sanity check in f2fs_iget() to avoid finding stale inode during inner inode initialization.
