[linux-next] mm/i915: i915_gemfs_init() NULL dereference

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Hi,

My laptop oopses early on with nothing on the screen;
after some debugging I managed to obtain a backtrace:

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

RIP is at 0x00, which is never good

It sort of boils down to commit 144df3b288c4 (vfs: Convert ramfs,
shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs, rootfs to use the new mount API), which
removed ->remount_fs from tmpfs' ops:

So i915 init executes NULL

	get_fs_type("tmpfs");
	sb->s_op->remount_fs(sb, &flags, options);

For the time being the following (obvious and wrong) patch
at least boots -next:
