Ryusuke Konishi ffe5ebdf81 nilfs2: fix null pointer dereference at nilfs_segctor_do_construct()
commit 8301c719a2 upstream.

After commit c3aab9a0bd ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if
mapping has no dirty pages"), the following null pointer dereference has
been reported on nilfs2:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000a8
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
  PGD 0 P4D 0
  Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ...
  RIP: 0010:percpu_counter_add_batch+0xa/0x60
  ...
  Call Trace:
    __test_set_page_writeback+0x2d3/0x330
    nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0x10d3/0x2110 [nilfs2]
    nilfs_segctor_construct+0x168/0x260 [nilfs2]
    nilfs_segctor_thread+0x127/0x3b0 [nilfs2]
    kthread+0xf8/0x130
    ...

This crash turned out to be caused by set_page_writeback() call for
segment summary buffers at nilfs_segctor_prepare_write().

set_page_writeback() can call inc_wb_stat(inode_to_wb(inode),
WB_WRITEBACK) where inode_to_wb(inode) is NULL if the inode of
underlying block device does not have an associated wb.

This fixes the issue by calling inode_attach_wb() in advance to ensure
to associate the bdev inode with its wb.

Fixes: c3aab9a0bd ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping has no dirty pages")
