Subject: smack: fix fuse mount hang
From: Casey Schaufler <casey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The d_instantiate hook for Smack can hang on the root inode of a
filesystem if the file system code has not really done all the set-up.
Fuse is known to encounter this problem. This change detects an attempt
to instantiate a root inode and addresses it early in the processing,
before any attempt is made to do something that might hang.
