To prevent inodes with invalid file types from tripping through the vfs and causing malfunctions or assertion failures, add a missing sanity check when reading an inode from a block device. If the file type is not valid, treat it as a filesystem error.

This fixes a missing check in nilfs2 that could allow invalid file types to be imported from corrupted filesystem images, as reported by syzbot following a recently added VFS assertion.
