[ Upstream commit ec275bf9693d19cc0fdce8436f4c425ced86f6e7 ]
In a previous commit c1006bd13146, ni->mi.mrec in ni_write_inode()
could be NULL, and thus a NULL check is added for this variable.
However, in the same call stack, ni->mi.mrec can be also dereferenced
in ni_clear():
ntfs_evict_inode(inode)
ni_write_inode(inode, ...)
ni = ntfs_i(inode);
is_rec_inuse(ni->mi.mrec) -> Add a NULL check by previous commit
ni_clear(ntfs_i(inode))
is_rec_inuse(ni->mi.mrec) -> No check
Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may exist in ni_clear().
To fix it, a NULL check is added in this function.

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.
