From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> xfs_vm_set_page_dirty checks to see if mapping is NULL however before this unlikely check it already dereferenced mapping when initializing inode. Move the inode initialization after the mapping null check to avoid a potential null pointer dereference.
