Subject: [PATCH] ntfs3: initialize run_lock for $Extend inode records
Author: kartikey406@...il.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

Inodes from the $Extend directory (NTFS system metadata files) were not
having their run_lock rwsem initialized. These inodes are assigned
ntfs_file_inode_operations but skip the normal S_ISREG initialization
path where run_lock is initialized.

When operations like truncate are called on these inodes, the code
attempts to acquire the uninitialized run_lock, triggering lockdep
warnings about using non-static keys.

Initialize run_lock for $Extend records to match the initialization done
for regular files.
