[PATCH] hugetlbfs: make BUG_ON(!inode) takes effect in hugetlbfs_setattr

[PATCH] hugetlbfs: make BUG_ON(!inode) takes effect in hugetlbfs_setattr

[Miaohe Lin]

When we reach here with inode = NULL, we should have crashed as inode has
already been dereferenced via hstate_inode. In order to make BUG_ON(!inode)
takes effect, we should defer initializing hstate until we really need it.
Also do this for hugetlbfs_inode_info as it's only used when ia_valid is
verified with ATTR_SIZE.

If inode == NULL, it will panic here when we access inode->i_sb.
I have seen many other file system implementations about setattr,
they all think that d_inode() will return a non-NULL pointer. So
I prefer to just remove the BUG_ON().

Thanks.

Sounds reasonable. Will do it in v2. Many thanks.
