Al Viro 2606b28aab USB: Fix breakage in ffs_fs_mount()
There's a bunch of failure exits in ffs_fs_mount() with
seriously broken recovery logics.  Most of that appears to stem
from misunderstanding of the ->kill_sb() semantics; unlike
->put_super() it is called for *all* superblocks of given type,
no matter how (in)complete the setup had been.  ->put_super()
is called only if ->s_root is not NULL; any failure prior to
setting ->s_root will have the call of ->put_super() skipped.
->kill_sb(), OTOH, awaits every superblock that has come from
sget().

Current behaviour of ffs_fs_mount():

We have struct ffs_sb_fill_data data on stack there.  We do
	ffs_dev = functionfs_acquire_dev_callback(dev_name);
and store that in data.private_data.  Then we call mount_nodev(),
passing it ffs_sb_fill() as a callback.  That will either fail
outright, or manage to call ffs_sb_fill().  There we allocate an
instance of struct ffs_data, slap the value of ffs_dev (picked
from data.private_data) into ffs->private_data and overwrite
data.private_data by storing ffs into an overlapping member
(data.ffs_data).  Then we store ffs into sb->s_fs_info and attempt
to set the rest of the things up (root inode, root dentry, then
create /ep0 there).  Any of those might fail.  Should that
happen, we get ffs_fs_kill_sb() called before mount_nodev()
returns.  If mount_nodev() fails for any reason whatsoever,
we proceed to
	functionfs_release_dev_callback(data.ffs_data);

That's broken in a lot of ways.  Suppose the thing has failed in
allocation of e.g. root inode or dentry.  We have
	functionfs_release_dev_callback(ffs);
	ffs_data_put(ffs);
done by ffs_fs_kill_sb() (ffs accessed via sb->s_fs_info), followed by
	functionfs_release_dev_callback(ffs);
from ffs_fs_mount() (via data.ffs_data).  Note that the second
functionfs_release_dev_callback() has every chance to be done to freed memory.

Suppose we fail *before* root inode allocation.  What happens then?
ffs_fs_kill_sb() doesn't do anything to ffs (it's either not called at all,
or it doesn't have a pointer to ffs stored in sb->s_fs_info).  And
	functionfs_release_dev_callback(data.ffs_data);
is called by ffs_fs_mount(), but here we are in nasal daemon country - we
are reading from a member of union we'd never stored into.  In practice,
we'll get what we used to store into the overlapping field, i.e. ffs_dev.
And then we get screwed, since we treat it (struct gfs_ffs_obj * in
disguise, returned by functionfs_acquire_dev_callback()) as struct
ffs_data *, pick what would've been ffs_data ->private_data from it
(*well* past the actual end of the struct gfs_ffs_obj - struct ffs_data
is much bigger) and poke in whatever it points to.

FWIW, there's a minor leak on top of all that in case if ffs_sb_fill()
fails on kstrdup() - ffs is obviously forgotten.

The thing is, there is no point in playing all those games with union.
Just allocate and initialize ffs_data *before* calling mount_nodev() and
pass a pointer to it via data.ffs_data.  And once it's stored in
sb->s_fs_info, clear data.ffs_data, so that ffs_fs_mount() knows that
it doesn't need to kill the sucker manually - from that point on
we'll have it done by ->kill_sb().
