Introduce f2fs_iget_inner() for f2fs_fill_super() to get inner inode:
meta inode, node inode or compressed inode, and add f2fs_check_nid_range()
in f2fs_iget() to avoid getting inner inode from external interfaces.

So, we don't want to check the range of inner inode numbers? What'd be the
way to check it's okay?

For node_ino, meta_ino, root_ino, we have checked them in sanity_check_raw_super()
as below:

/* check reserved ino info */
if (le32_to_cpu(raw_super->node_ino) != 1 ||
le32_to_cpu(raw_super->meta_ino) != 2 ||
le32_to_cpu(raw_super->root_ino) != 3) {
f2fs_info(sbi, "Invalid Fs Meta Ino: node(%u) meta(%u) root(%u)",
le32_to_cpu(raw_super->node_ino),
le32_to_cpu(raw_super->meta_ino),
le32_to_cpu(raw_super->root_ino));
return -EFSCORRUPTED;
}

compressed_ino should always be NM_I(sbi)->max_nid, it can be checked in
f2fs_init_compress_inode()?

Hmm, I'm not sure whether we really need this patch, since it'd look better
to handle all the iget with single f2fs_iget?

Well, the main concern is previously f2fs_iget() won't check validation for inner
inode due to it will skip do_read_inode() - f2fs_check_nid_range(), so that in a
fuzzed image, caller may pass inner ino into f2fs_iget(), result in incorrect use
of inner inode. So I add f2fs_check_nid_range() in prior to f2fs_iget_inner() in
f2fs_iget() as below to detect and avoid this case.

FWIW, sanity_check_raw_super() checked the inode numbers.

However, previously, f2fs_iget() will return inner inode to caller directly, if caller
passes meta_ino, node_ino or compress_ino to f2fs_iget()?

Thanks,
