Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 06/18] fs/ntfs3: Fix NULL dereference in ni_write_inode

From: Abdun Nihaal <abdun.nihaal@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 8dae4f6341e335a09575be60b4fdf697c732a470 ]

Syzbot reports a NULL dereference in ni_write_inode.
When creating a new inode, if allocation fails in mi_init function
(called in mi_format_new function), mi->mrec is set to NULL.
In the error path of this inode creation, mi->mrec is later
dereferenced in ni_write_inode.

Add a NULL check to prevent NULL dereference.
