Subject: nilfs2: do not propagate ENOENT error from sufile during GC
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2024 00:46:26 +0900

nilfs_sufile_freev(), which is used to free segments in GC, aborts with
-ENOENT if the target segment usage is on a hole block.

This error only occurs if one of the segment numbers to be freed passed by
the GC ioctl is invalid, so return -EINVAL instead.

To avoid impairing readability, introduce a wrapper function that
encapsulates error handling including the error code conversion (and error
message output).
