[BUG]
A corrupted subvolume tree can leave an EXTENT_DATA item attached to an
inode whose mode is not S_IFREG or S_IFLNK. During send, such an item can
be treated as file data and crash through a NULL address_space operation:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
#PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page

[CAUSE]
process_extent() skips extent items for symlinks but assumes every other
inode with an extent item is a regular file. For a corrupted non-regular
inode, btrfs_iget() does not install the regular file address_space
operations. The readahead fallback can then call a NULL read_folio
callback before the existing validation in btrfs_get_extent() can run.
[FIX]
Reject extent items for inode types other than regular files and symlinks
at the common send extent-processing boundary. Symlink handling is left
unchanged because send emits symlink data from read_symlink(). This covers
full, incremental and new-generation sends without adding a check to the
regular I/O path.
