We've had rather rare reports of bmap btree block corruption where
the bmap root block has a level count of zero. The root cause of the
corruption is so far unknown. We do have verifier checks to detect
this form of on-disk corruption, but this doesn't cover a memory
corruption variant of the problem. The latter is a reasonable
possibility because the root block is part of the inode fork and can
reside in-core for some time before inode extents are read.
If this occurs, it leads to a system crash such as the following:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff00000221

The crash occurs because xfs_iread_extents() attempts to release an
uninitialized buffer pointer as the level == 0 value prevented the
buffer from ever being allocated or read. Change the level > 0
assert to an explicit error check in xfs_iread_extents() to avoid
crashing the kernel in the event of localized, in-core inode
corruption.
