On mount the volume inode is searched for $VOLUME_NAME and then, reusing
the same search context, for $VOLUME_INFORMATION. The $VOLUME_NAME lookup
is optional and its result is otherwise ignored.

Once lookup-time validation can reject a corrupt $VOLUME_NAME with -EIO,
the search context is left in an undefined state: ntfs_attr_find()
documents that on an actual error @ctx->attr is undefined. Continuing the
$VOLUME_INFORMATION search from that context is not contractually valid.

Reinitialize the search context before the $VOLUME_INFORMATION lookup so
it always starts from a well-defined state regardless of the
$VOLUME_NAME lookup outcome.
