[PATCH] jfs: Initialize synclist in metapage allocation

[ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in]

From: Shaurya Rane <ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in>

The synclist field in struct metapage was not being initialized during
allocation in alloc_metapage(), leading to list corruption when the
metapage is later added to a transaction's sync list.

When diUpdatePMap() calls list_add(&mp->synclist, &tblk->synclist), if
the synclist field contains stale data from a previous allocation (such
as LIST_POISON values from a freed list node), the list debugging code
detects the corruption and triggers a stack segment fault.

This issue is intermittent because it only manifests when recycled
memory happens to contain poison values in the synclist field. The bug
was discovered by syzbot, which creates specific filesystem patterns
that reliably trigger this uninitialized memory usage.

Initialize the synclist field with INIT_LIST_HEAD() in alloc_metapage()
to ensure it's in a valid state before being used in list operations.
This is consistent with how the wait queue is initialized in the same
function.
