In xrep_findroot_block, we work out the btree type and correctness of a given block by calling different btree verifiers on root block candidates. However, we leave the NULL b_ops while ->verify_read validates the block, which means that if the verifier calls xfs_buf_verifier_error it'll crash on the null b_ops. Fix it to set b_ops before calling the verifier and unsetting it if the verifier fails. Furthermore, improve the documentation around xfs_buf_ensure_ops, which is the function that is responsible for cleaning up the b_ops state of buffers that go through xrep_findroot_block but don't match anything.

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.
