[ Upstream commit 594b6d0428ae304e0b44457398beb458b938f005 ]

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
pc : f2fs_put_page+0x1c/0x26c
lr : __revoke_inmem_pages+0x544/0x75c

el0_svc_handler+0x74/0x98
el0_svc+0x8/0xc

In f2fs_put_page, we access page->mapping is NULL.
The root cause is:
In some cases, the page refcount and ATOMIC_WRITTEN_PAGE
flag miss set for page-priavte flag has been set.
We add f2fs_bug_on like this:

f2fs_register_inmem_page()
{
	...
	f2fs_set_page_private(page, ATOMIC_WRITTEN_PAGE);

	f2fs_bug_on(F2FS_I_SB(inode), !IS_ATOMIC_WRITTEN_PAGE(page));
	...
}

The bug on stack follow link this:
PC is at f2fs_register_inmem_page+0x238/0x2b4
LR is at f2fs_register_inmem_page+0x2a8/0x2b4
f2fs_register_inmem_page+0x238/0x2b4
f2fs_set_data_page_dirty+0x104/0x164
set_page_dirty+0x78/0xc8

__generic_file_write_iter+0xc4/0x174

__vfs_write+0x104/0x134
vfs_write+0xe8/0x19c
SyS_pwrite64+0x78/0xb8

To fix this issue, let's add page refcount add page-priavte flag.
The page-private flag is not cleared and needs further analysis.
