Oops, the patch with old Reported-by: was applied. That's why I can't find
"hfsplus: pretend special inodes as regular files" as a fix commit for
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=f98189ed18c1f5f32e00 as of linux-next-20250205 .

Anyway, my patch was tested for one month in linux-next tree, and
it seems that no side effect is reported. Please proceed.
