This access is part of KASAN check. But the original address kernel
tries to access is NULL, so it's not an issue with KASAN.

The line is this:

int security_inode_getattr(const struct path *path)
{
    if (unlikely(IS_PRIVATE(d_backing_inode(path->dentry))))
        return 0;

So it's either path is NULL, or something in d_backing_inode
dereferences NULL path->dentry.

The reproducer does involve overlayfs:

mkdir(&(0x7f0000000240)='./file1\x00', 0x0)
mkdir(&(0x7f0000000300)='./bus\x00', 0x0)
r0 = creat(&(0x7f00000000c0)='./bus/file1\x00', 0x0)
mkdir(&(0x7f0000000080)='./file0\x00', 0x0)
mount$overlay(0x400002, &(0x7f0000000000)='./bus\x00',
&(0x7f0000000100)='overlay\x00', 0x0,
&(0x7f00000003c0)=ANY=[@ANYBLOB='upperdir=./file1,lowerdir=./bus,workdir=./file0,metacopy=on'])
link(&(0x7f0000000200)='./bus/file1\x00', &(0x7f00000002c0)='./bus/file0\x00')
write$RDMA_USER_CM_CMD_RESOLVE_ADDR(r0, 0x0, 0x0)
acct(&(0x7f0000000040)='./bus/file0\x00')

Though, it may be overlayfs-related, or it may be a generic bug that
requires a tricky reproducer and the only reproducer syzbot come up
with happened to involve overlayfs.
But there are 4 reproducers on syzbot dashboard and all of them
involve overlayfs and they are somewhat different. So my bet would be
on overlayfs.
