David Howells 5e0b17b026 afs: Fix NULL deref in afs_dynroot_depopulate()
If an error occurs during the construction of an afs superblock, it's
possible that an error occurs after a superblock is created, but before
we've created the root dentry.  If the superblock has a dynamic root
(ie.  what's normally mounted on /afs), the afs_kill_super() will call
afs_dynroot_depopulate() to unpin any created dentries - but this will
oops if the root hasn't been created yet.

Fix this by skipping that bit of code if there is no root dentry.

This leads to an oops looking like:

	general protection fault, ...
	KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000068-0x000000000000006f]
	...
	RIP: 0010:afs_dynroot_depopulate+0x25f/0x529 fs/afs/dynroot.c:385
	...
	Call Trace:

	 do_syscall_64+0x2d/0x70 arch/x86/entry/common.c:46
	 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

which is oopsing on this line:

	inode_lock(root->d_inode);

presumably because sb->s_root was NULL.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
