Subject: [PATCH 2/6] vfs: Fix fs_context logging when there's no log

If an fs_context-based mount is called from mount(2) or some other place
that doesn't set up the logging-through-fd, then under some circumstances
an oops will occur due to the log being unconditionally accessed in
logfc().

Fix this by checking whether there is a log structure before attempting to
access it
