nilfs2: prevent general protection fault in nilfs_clear_dirty_page()
In a syzbot stress test that deliberately causes file system errors on nilfs2 with a corrupted disk image, it has been reported that nilfs_clear_dirty_page() called from nilfs_clear_dirty_pages() can cause a general protection fault. In nilfs_clear_dirty_pages(), when looking up dirty pages from the page cache and calling nilfs_clear_dirty_page() for each dirty page/folio retrieved, the back reference from the argument page to "mapping" may have been changed to NULL (and possibly others). It is necessary to check this after locking the page/folio. So, fix this issue by not calling nilfs_clear_dirty_page() on a page/folio after locking it in nilfs_clear_dirty_pages() if the back reference "mapping" from the page/folio is different from the "mapping" that held the page/folio just before.
