Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to avoid panic in is_alive() if metadata is
inconsistent

As report by Wenqing Liu in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215231

If we enable CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS config, and with fuzzed image attached in above link, we will encounter panic when executing below script:

1. mkdir mnt
2. mount -t f2fs tmp1.img mnt
3. touch tmp

F2FS-fs (loop11): mismatched blkaddr 5765 (source_blkaddr 1) in seg 3 kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/gc.c:1042!

Previously, f2fs tries to catch data inconcistency exception in between SSA and SIT table during GC, however once the exception is caught, it will call f2fs_bug_on to hang kernel, it's not needed, instead, let's set SBI_NEED_FSCK flag and skip migrating current block.
