Subject: [PATCH v4 44/45] mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to
 write_begin/write_end interface

Functions implementing the a_ops->write_end() interface accept the
`void *fsdata` parameter that is supposed to be initialized by the
corresponding a_ops->write_begin() (which accepts `void **fsdata`).

However not all a_ops->write_begin() implementations initialize `fsdata`
unconditionally, so it may get passed uninitialized to a_ops->write_end(),
resulting in undefined behavior.

Fix this by initializing fsdata with NULL before the call to
write_begin(), rather than doing so in all possible a_ops
implementations.

This patch covers only the following cases found by running x86 KMSAN
under syzkaller:

 - generic_perform_write()
 - cont_expand_zero() and generic_cont_expand_simple()
 - page_symlink()

Other cases of passing uninitialized fsdata may persist in the codebase.
