Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug in nilfs_mdt_destroy()

In alloc_inode(), inode_init_always() could return -ENOMEM if
security_inode_alloc() fails.  If this happens for nilfs2,
nilfs_free_inode() is called without initializing inode->i_private and
nilfs_free_inode() wrongly calls nilfs_mdt_destroy(), which frees
uninitialized inode->i_private and can trigger a crash.

Fix this bug by initializing inode->i_private in nilfs_alloc_inode().
