Subject: [PATCH] ntfs3: Fix attr_punch_hole() null pointer derenference

From: Alon Zahavi <zahavi.alon@...il.com>

The bug occours due to a misuse of `attr` variable instead of `attr_b`.
`attr` is being initialized as NULL, then being derenfernced
as `attr->res.data_size`.

This bug causes a crash of the ntfs3 driver itself,
If compiled directly to the kernel, it crashes the whole system.
