Subject: [PATCH] jffs2: replace BUG_ON with warning in
Author: tristmd@gmail.com

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

#syz test: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

 jffs2_del_ino_cache

jffs2_del_ino_cache() panics the kernel via BUG_ON if the inode cache
entry still has xattr references:

    BUG_ON(old->xref);

This can be triggered by a crafted JFFS2 image where the CRC check
path calls jffs2_do_clear_inode() while pino_nlink is non-zero.
jffs2_xattr_delete_inode() skips cleanup when pino_nlink > 0, so the
xref list survives into jffs2_del_ino_cache(), hitting the BUG_ON.

Replace the BUG_ON with WARN_ON_ONCE to report the inconsistency
without crashing the kernel.  The leaked xrefs will be cleaned up
when the filesystem is unmounted via jffs2_free_ino_caches().
