==================================================================

(the line numbers are relative to 4.8-rc6, but the bug persists
upstream)

The local |tmp| is created in generic_block_bmap() and then passed into
ext4_bmap() => ext4_get_block() => _ext4_get_block() =>
ext4_update_bh_state(). Along the way tmp.b_page is never initialized
before ext4_update_bh_state() checks its value.
