[PATCH v2 1/2] erofs-utils: fuse: add missing return on getattr error

erofsfuse_getattr() calls fuse_reply_err() when erofs_read_inode_from_disk()
fails, but does not return afterwards. This causes the function to fall through
to erofsfuse_fill_stat() with uninitialized inode data and then call
fuse_reply_attr(), sending a second reply to the same FUSE request.
Sending two replies to a single FUSE request is undefined behavior in libfuse
and typically triggers an assertion failure or crash. The uninitialized inode
data may also expose garbage values to userspace.
Fix by adding the missing return after fuse_reply_err().
