Subject: [23/74] fix oops in fs/9p late mount failure

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

commit 083c73c253c23c20359a344dfe1198ea628e6259 upstream.

if 9P ->get_sb() fails late (at root inode or root dentry
allocation), we'll hit its ->kill_sb() with NULL ->s_root
