[PATCH 5.8 90/99] dmabuf: fix NULL pointer dereference in dma_buf_release()

commit 19a508bd1ad8e444de86873bf2f2b2ab8edd6552 upstream.

NULL pointer dereference is observed while exporting the dmabuf but
failed to allocate the 'struct file' which results into the dropping of
the allocated dentry corresponding to this file in the dmabuf fs, which
is ending up in dma_buf_release() and accessing the uninitialzed
dentry->d_fsdata.

Call stack on 5.4 is below:
dma_buf_release+0x2c/0x254 drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:88
__dentry_kill+0x294/0x31c fs/dcache.c:584
dentry_kill fs/dcache.c:673 [inline]
dput+0x250/0x380 fs/dcache.c:859
path_put+0x24/0x40 fs/namei.c:485
alloc_file_pseudo+0x1a4/0x200 fs/file_table.c:235
dma_buf_getfile drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:473 [inline]
dma_buf_export+0x25c/0x3ec drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:585

Fix this by checking for the valid pointer in the dentry->d_fsdata.
