[PATCH v2] fuse: check for NULL root inode in fuse_fill_super_submount

fuse_iget() can return NULL when its inode allocation fails, but
fuse_fill_super_submount() passed the result straight to get_fuse_inode()
and decremented fi->nlookup without checking it:

        root = fuse_iget(sb, parent_fi->nodeid, ...);
        fi = get_fuse_inode(root);
        fi->nlookup--;

Inside fuse_iget() the inode allocation can fail and return NULL.  The
submount root takes the iget5_locked() path, whose alloc_inode() can fail
under memory pressure (the auto-submount branch can fail the same way in
new_inode() or fuse_alloc_submount_lookup()):

        inode = iget5_locked(sb, nodeid, fuse_inode_eq, fuse_inode_set,
                             &nodeid);
        if (!inode)
                return NULL;

A NULL root makes get_fuse_inode() a container_of() on NULL and the
nlookup decrement a write to a bogus address, oopsing the mount.  With
CONFIG_KASAN the following null pointer dereference is reported when the
root inode allocation of an auto-submount fails (e.g. under memory
pressure):

Return -ENOMEM instead; the caller tears down the partially built
superblock on error, matching the other error returns in this
function.
