nilfs2: handle corrupted checkpoint count gracefully during deletion

Browse source

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.
