xfs: don't crash the vfs on a garbage inline symlink
The VFS routine that calls ->get_link blindly copies whatever's returned into the user's buffer. If we return a NULL pointer, the vfs will crash on the null pointer. Therefore, return -EFSCORRUPTED instead of blowing up the kernel. [dgc: clean up with hch's suggestions] Reported-by: wen.xu@gatech.edu Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
