Hi Chao,

Both the inode-checksum and footer-validation failure paths reach this label.
`f2fs_clear_cache_dirty()` clears the DIRTY state bit, but it does not clear
UPTODATE or synchronize the DIRTY radix tag and dirty-node counter.

What invariant keeps these states consistent after node validation fails?
