[BUG] bfs: WARNING in mark_buffer_dirty from bfs_get_block

Hi,
I am reporting that WARNING in mark_buffer_dirty remains reproducible with a
migrated syzkaller reproducer on Linux 7.2-rc3. The tested HEAD commit is
a13c140cc289c0b7b3770bce5b3ad42ab35074aa.
The reproducer writes to a file on a crafted BFS filesystem and enters
bfs_get_block() through the buffered write path.
bfs_get_block() reaches mark_buffer_dirty(), which warns about the state of
the metadata buffer while servicing the write.
This looks like BFS marks a metadata buffer dirty before its state has been
validated or initialized correctly for the malformed filesystem image.
