Subject: hugetlbfs: initialize shared policy as part of inode allocation

From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>


[ Upstream commit 4742a35d9de745e867405b4311e1aac412f0ace1 ]

Any time after inode allocation, destroy_inode can be called.  The
hugetlbfs inode contains a shared_policy structure, and
mpol_free_shared_policy is unconditionally called as part of
hugetlbfs_destroy_inode.  Initialize the policy as part of inode
allocation so that any quick (error path) calls to destroy_inode will be
handed an initialized policy.

syzkaller fuzzer found this bug, that resulted in the following:
