I would shorten like below: syzbot found that touch /proc/testfile causes NULL pointer dereference at tomoyo_get_local_path() because inode of the dentry is NULL. Before c59f415a7cb6, Tomoyo received pid_ns from proc's s_fs_info directly. Since proc_pid_ns() can only work with inode, using it in the tomoyo_get_local_path() was wrong. To avoid creating more functions for getting proc_ns, change the argument type of the proc_pid_ns() function. Then, Tomoyo can use the existing super_block to get pid_ns.
