xfs: don't trip over uninitialized buffer on extent read of corrupted inode
commit 6958d11f upstream. We've had rather rare reports of bmap btree block corruption where the bmap root block has a level count of zero. The root cause of the corruption is so far unknown. We do have verifier checks to detect this form of on-disk corruption, but this doesn't cover a memory corruption variant of the problem. The latter is a reasonable possibility because the root block is part of the inode fork and can reside in-core for some time before inode extents are read. If this occurs, it leads to a system crash such as the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff00000221 PF error: [normal kernel read fault] ... RIP: 0010:xfs_trans_brelse+0xf/0x200 [xfs] ...

Change the level > 0 assert to an explicit error check in xfs_iread_extents() to avoid crashing the kernel in the event of localized, in-core inode corruption.
