[PATCH] erofs: leave compressed inodes unsupported in fscache mode for now

erofs over fscache doesn't support the compressed layout yet. It will
cause NULL crash if there are compressed inodes contained when working
in fscache mode.

So far in the erofs based container image distribution scenarios
(RAFS v6), the compressed images are downloaded to local and then
decompressed as a erofs image of uncompressed layout. Then the erofs
image is mounted in fscache mode and serves as the container image. Thus
the current implementation won't break the container image distribution
scenarios.

The fscache support for the compressed layout is still under
development. Anyway, to avoid the potential crash, let's leave the
compressed inodes unsupported in fscache mode until we support it later.

Fixes: 1442b02b66ad ("erofs: implement fscache-based data read for non-inline layout")
