[PATCH] fs: Initialize mountpoint list head in new_mountpoint()

From: Murilo Opsfelder Araujo
Date: Mon Aug 18 2014 - 22:45:15 EST


The commit 89f7ca1af15bdfe7a6aed343032a84af2a69f736 makes next-20140818
to panic because mountpoint list head was not initialized. Initializing
it with NULL fixes the problem.

vfs: Keep a list of mounts on a mount point

To spot any possible problems call BUG if a mountpoint
is put when it's list of mounts is not empty.

AV: use hlist instead of list_head
