nilfs2: fix incorrect inode allocation from reserved inodes

If the bitmap block that manages the inode allocation status is corrupted,
nilfs_ifile_create_inode() may allocate a new inode from the reserved
inode area where it should not be allocated.

Previous fix commit d325dc6e

 ("nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of
struct nilfs_root"), fixed the problem that reserved inodes with inode
numbers less than NILFS_USER_INO (=11) were incorrectly reallocated due to
bitmap corruption, but since the start number of non-reserved inodes is
read from the super block and may change, in which case inode allocation
may occur from the extended reserved inode area.

If that happens, access to that inode will cause an IO error, causing the
file system to degrade to an error state.

Fix this potential issue by adding a wraparound option to the common
metadata object allocation routine and by modifying
nilfs_ifile_create_inode() to disable the option so that it only allocates
inodes with inode numbers greater than or equal to the inode number read
in "nilfs->ns_first_ino", regardless of the bitmap status of reserved
inodes.
