Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nilfs2: fix null-ptr-deref in block_dirty_buffer tracepoint

When using the "block:block_dirty_buffer" tracepoint,
mark_buffer_dirty() may cause a NULL pointer dereference, or a general
protection fault when KASAN is enabled.

This happens because, since the tracepoint was added in
mark_buffer_dirty(), it references the dev_t member bh->b_bdev->bd_dev
regardless of whether the buffer head has a pointer to a block_device
structure.

In the current implementation, nilfs_grab_buffer(), which grabs a buffer
to read (or create) a block of metadata, including b-tree node blocks,
does not set the block device, but instead does so only if the buffer is
not in the "uptodate" state for each of its caller block reading
functions.  However, if the uptodate flag is set on a folio/page, and
the buffer heads are detached from it by try_to_free_buffers(), and new
buffer heads are then attached by create_empty_buffers(), the uptodate
flag may be restored to each buffer without the block device being set
to bh->b_bdev, and mark_buffer_dirty() may be called later in that
state, resulting in the bug mentioned above.

Fix this issue by making nilfs_grab_buffer() always set the block device
of the super block structure to the buffer head, regardless of the state
of the buffer's uptodate flag.
