Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on i_xattr_nid in sanity_check_inode()
syzbot reports a kernel bug as below:
F2FS-fs (loop0): Mounted with checkpoint version = 48b305e4

The root cause is we missed to do sanity check on i_xattr_nid during
f2fs_iget(), so that in fiemap() path, current_nat_addr() will access
nat_bitmap w/ offset from invalid i_xattr_nid, result in triggering
kasan bug report, fix it.
