[PATCH] xfs: fix null pointer dereference when mapping is NULL

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

xfs_vm_set_page_dirty checks to see if mapping is NULL however
before this unlikely check it already dereferenced mapping when
initializing inode. Move the inode initialization after the mapping
null check to avoid a potential null pointer dereference.

Fixes: 22e757a49cf0 ("xfs: don't dirty buffers beyond EOF")
