I'll drop this patch, since it turned out there is a bug in reiserfs which
doesn't free the root inode (ino=2). That leads f2fs to find an ino=2 with
the previous superblock point used by reiserfs. That stale inode has no valid
inode that f2fs can use. I tried to find where the root cause is in reiserfs,
but it seems quite hard to catch one.

- reiserfs_fill_super
 - reiserfs_xattr_init
  - create_privroot
   - xattr_mkdir
    - reiserfs_new_inode
     - reiserfs_get_unused_objectid returned 0 due to map crash

It seems the error path doesn't handle the root inode properly.
