commit 19a508bd1ad8e444de86873bf2f2b2ab8edd6552 upstream.
NULL pointer dereference is observed while exporting the dmabuf but
failed to allocate the 'struct file' which results into the dropping of
the allocated dentry corresponding to this file in the dmabuf fs, which
is ending up in dma_buf_release() and accessing the uninitialzed
dentry->d_fsdata.
Call stack on 5.4 is below:
dma_buf_release+0x2c/0x254 drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:88
__dentry_kill+0x294/0x31c fs/dcache.c:584
dentry_kill fs/dcache.c:673 [inline]
dput+0x250/0x380 fs/dcache.c:859
path_put+0x24/0x40 fs/namei.c:485
alloc_file_pseudo+0x1a4/0x200 fs/file_table.c:235
dma_buf_getfile drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:473 [inline]
dma_buf_export+0x25c/0x3ec drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:585
Fix this by checking for the valid pointer in the dentry->d_fsdata.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
