Theodore Ts'o 64578f9417 ext4: don't try to processed freed blocks until mballoc is initialized
[ Upstream commit 027f14f535 ]

If we try to make any changes via the journal between when the journal
is initialized, but before the multi-block allocated is initialized,
we will end up deferencing a NULL pointer when the journal commit
callback function calls ext4_process_freed_data().

The proximate cause of this failure was commit 2d01ddc866 ("ext4:
save error info to sb through journal if available") since file system
corruption problems detected before the call to ext4_mb_init() would
result in a journal commit before we aborted the mount of the file
system.... and we would then trigger the NULL pointer deref.

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.
