Subject: [PATCH 4.4 15/40] f2fs: fix a panic caused by NULL flush_cmd_control

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Yunlei He <heyunlei@...wei.com>

commit d4fdf8ba0e5808ba9ad6b44337783bd9935e0982 upstream.

Mount fs with option noflush_merge, boot failed for illegal address
fcc in function f2fs_issue_flush:

        if (!test_opt(sbi, FLUSH_MERGE)) {
                ret = submit_flush_wait(sbi);
                atomic_inc(&fcc->issued_flush);   ->  Here, fcc illegal
                return ret;
        }
