When we reach here with inode = NULL, we should have crashed as inode has already been dereferenced via hstate_inode. In order to make BUG_ON(!inode) takes effect, we should defer initializing hstate until we really need it. Also do this for hugetlbfs_inode_info as it's only used when ia_valid is verified with ATTR_SIZE.
