Re: [syzbot] [hfs?] KMSAN: uninit-value in hfs_read_inode

After the call to hfs_bnode_read on line 356 of fs/hfs/super.c, the
struct hfs_cat_rec, which is supposed to be for the root dir, has
type HFS_CDR_FIL. Only the first 70 bytes of that struct are then
initialized, because the entrylength passed into hfs_bnode_read is
70, corresponding to the size of struct hfs_cat_dir. This causes
uninitialized values to be used later on when the hfs_cat_rec
union is treated as a hfs_cat_file.

Add a check to make sure the retrieved record has the correct type
for the root directory (HFS_CDR_DIR).
