Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: skip blocks with no bmap entry in
 nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty()

In nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty(), called during garbage collection,
nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() may return -ENOENT when a block no longer
exists in the DAT bmap.  In that case the code sets bd_blocknr to 0 but
falls through to the liveness check that compares bd_blocknr against
bd_oblocknr.  If bd_oblocknr also happens to be 0, the descriptor is
incorrectly treated as live and the code attempts to get or mark the
non-existent block, triggering a WARN_ON.

Fix this by adding a continue statement so that a block descriptor is
immediately skipped when its bmap lookup returns -ENOENT, since there
is no block in the DAT to mark dirty.
