[PATCH v5 0/8] erofs-utils: mkfs: introduce rebuild mode

[Jingbo Xu]

v5:
- patch 6: reuse the new allocated inode; call
  erofs_rebuild_get_dentry() first, and then erofs_read_inode_from_disk()
  is called only when erofs_rebuild_get_dentry() indicates a valid
  location of this inode (Gao Xiang)
- patch 7: add new helper erofs_alloc_root_inode()

-------------------------

Introduce a new rebuild mode merging multiple erofs images generated
from either tarerfs index mode (--tar=i):

	mkfs.erofs --tar=i --aufs layer0.erofs layer0.tar
	...
	mkfs.erofs --tar=i --aufs layerN.erofs layerN.tar

	mkfs.erofs merge.erofs layerN.erofs ... layer0.erofs

or tarerofs non-index mode (--tar=f):

	mkfs.erofs --tar=f -Enoinline_data --aufs layer0.erofs layer0.tar
	...
	mkfs.erofs --tar=f -Enoinline_data --aufs layerN.erofs layerN.tar

	mkfs.erofs merge.erofs layerN.erofs ... layer0.erofs
