syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in pick_link. [1]

First, i_link and i_dir_seq are in the same union, they share the same memory
address, and i_dir_seq will be updated during the execution of walk_component,
which makes the value of i_link equal to i_dir_seq.

Secondly, the chmod execution failed, which resulted in setting the mode value
of file0's inode to REG when executing ntfs_bad_inode.

Third, during the execution of the link command, it sets the inode of the
symlink file to the already bad inode of file0 by calling d_instantiate, which
ultimately leads to null-ptr-deref when performing a mount operation on the
symbolic link bus because it use bad inode's i_link and its value is equal to
i_dir_seq=2. 

Note: ("file0, bus" are defined in reproducer [2])

To avoid null-ptr-deref in pick_link, when creating a symbolic link, first check
whether the inode of file is already bad.

So actually there's no symbolic link involved here at all (which what was
confusing me all the time).

This creates only a hardlink. And in fact the creation of the link seems to
be totally irrelevant for this problem. I believe:

move_mount(0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f00000003c0)='./file0\x00', 0xffffffffffffff9c, &(0x7f0000000400)='./file0/file0\x00', 0x140)
chmod(&(0x7f0000000080)='./file0\x00', 0x0)
mount$overlay(0x0, &(0x7f00000000c0)='./file0\x00', 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)

would be as good reproducer of the problem. The core of the problem is that
NTFS3 calls make_bad_inode() on inode that is accessible to userspace and
is something else than a regular file. As long as that happens, some
variant of this NULL-ptr-dereference can happen as well, just the
reproducers will be somewhat different.

So I don't think patching ntfs_link_inode() makes a lot of sense. If
anything, I'd patch NTFS3 to not mark the inode as bad somewhere inside
ntfs_setattr() and deal with the error in a better way.
