Syzkaller reported a kernel warning in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() due to a corrupted checkpoint count on the storage medium where le32_to_cpu(cp->cp_checkpoints_count) is less than the number of checkpoints being deleted. Triggering a WARN_ON() for disk image corruption is suboptimal. Fix this by returning -EIO and reporting a filesystem error via nilfs_error() instead of interrupting execution with a kernel warning.
