device-dax: fix 'dax' device filesystem inode destruction crash
The inode destruction path for the 'dax' device filesystem incorrectly assumes that the inode was initialized through 'alloc_dax()'. However, if someone attempts to directly mount the dax filesystem with 'mount -t dax dax mnt' that will bypass 'alloc_dax()' and the following failure signatures may occur as a result: kill_dax() must be called before final iput() WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1188 at drivers/dax/super.c:243 dax_destroy_inode+0x48/0x50 RIP: 0010:dax_destroy_inode+0x48/0x50 Call Trace: destroy_inode+0x3b/0x60 evict+0x139/0x1c0 iput+0x1f9/0x2d0 dentry_unlink_inode+0xc3/0x160 __dentry_kill+0xcf/0x180 ? dput+0x37/0x3b0 dput+0x3a3/0x3b0 do_one_tree+0x36/0x40 shrink_dcache_for_umount+0x2d/0x90 generic_shutdown_super+0x1f/0x120 kill_anon_super+0x12/0x20 deactivate_locked_super+0x43/0x70 deactivate_super+0x4e/0x60 general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC RIP: 0010:kfree+0x6d/0x290 Call Trace: <IRQ> dax_i_callback+0x22/0x60 ? dax_destroy_inode+0x50/0x50 rcu_process_callbacks+0x298/0x740 ida_remove called for id=0 which is not allocated.
