nilfs2: prevent WARNING in nilfs_dat_commit_end()

If nilfs2 reads a corrupted disk image and its DAT metadata file contains
invalid lifetime data for a virtual block number, a kernel warning can be
generated by the WARN_ON check in nilfs_dat_commit_end() and can panic if
the kernel is booted with panic_on_warn.

This patch avoids the issue with a sanity check that treats it as an
error.

Since error return is not allowed in the execution phase of
nilfs_dat_commit_end(), this inserts that sanity check in
nilfs_dat_prepare_end(), which prepares for nilfs_dat_commit_end().

As the error code, -EINVAL is returned to notify bmap layer of the
metadata corruption.  When the bmap layer sees this code, it handles the
abnormal situation and replaces the return code with -EIO as it should.
