Commit "3a19fb7 libxfs: stop caching inode structures" introduced a use after free. libxfs_iput() already does the check for ip->i_itemp, and a kmem_zone_free() if it's present, and then frees the ip pointer. Re-checking ip->i_itemp after the libxfs_iput call will access the freed ip pointer, as will setting ip_>i_itemp to NULL. Simply remove the offending code to fix this up.
