nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of struct nilfs_root

If the beginning of the inode bitmap area is corrupted on disk, an inode
with the same inode number as the root inode can be allocated and fail
soon after.  In this case, the subsequent call to nilfs_clear_inode() on
that bogus root inode will wrongly decrement the reference counter of
struct nilfs_root, and this will erroneously free struct nilfs_root,
causing kernel oopses.

This fixes the problem by changing nilfs_new_inode() to skip reserved
inode numbers while repairing the inode bitmap.
