nilfs2: determine empty node blocks as corrupted
Due to the nature of b-trees, nilfs2 itself and admin tools such as mkfs.nilfs2 will never create an intermediate b-tree node block with 0 child nodes, nor will they delete (key, pointer)-entries that would result in such a state. However, it is possible that a b-tree node block is corrupted on the backing device and is read with 0 child nodes. Because operation is not guaranteed if the number of child nodes is 0 for intermediate node blocks other than the root node, modify nilfs_btree_node_broken(), which performs sanity checks when reading a b-tree node block, so that such cases will be judged as metadata corruption.
