Thanks for noticing this issue.  As mentioned in a previous e-mail,
there are additional issues that need to be addressed.  This loop
needs to initialize entries in the hugetlbfs_vfsmount array for all
hstates.  How about this patch?

Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlbfs: fix error handling when setting up mounts

It is assumed that the hugetlbfs_vfsmount[] array will contain
either a valid vfsmount pointer or NULL for each hstate after
initialization.  Changes made while converting to use fs_context
broke this assumption.
