Re: [PATCH v2] f2fs: f2fs_get_meta_page_nofail should not be failed

[jaegeuk]

Otherwise, f2fs can break the the consistency.
(e.g., BUG_ON in f2fs_get_sum_page)

Then, this reveals another issue where we go into an infinite loop on normal
error case. It turns out we abused f2fs_get_meta_page_nofail() in this path.

- f2fs_fill_super
 - f2fs_build_segment_manager
  - build_sit_entries
   - get_current_sit_page

Actually, we didn't have to use _nofail in this case, since we could return
error to mount(2) already with the error handler.

This was caught by syzbot as follows.
