[PATCH 4.14 63/88] unfuck sysfs_mount()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7b745a4e4051e1bbce40e0b1c2cf636c70583aa4 upstream.

new_sb is left uninitialized in case of early failures in kernfs_mount_ns(),
and while IS_ERR(root) is true in all such cases, using IS_ERR(root) || !new_sb
is not a solution - IS_ERR(root) is true in some cases when new_sb is true.

Make sure new_sb is initialized (and matches the reality) in all cases and
fix the condition for dropping kobj reference - we want it done precisely
in those situations where the reference has not been transferred into a new
super_block instance.
