    device-dax: fix 'dax' device filesystem inode destruction crash · b9d39d17
    Dan Williams authored
    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()

    Add missing initialization of the 'struct dax_device' and inode so that
    the destruction path does not kfree() or ida_simple_remove()
    uninitialized data.
