[ Upstream commit 4bca7e80b6455772b4bf3f536dcbc19aac424d6a ]
noop_backing_dev_info is used by superblocks of various
pseudofilesystems such as kdevtmpfs. After commit 10e14073107d
("writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not be protected by inode->i_lock
error") this broke because __mark_inode_dirty() started to access more
fields from noop_backing_dev_info and this led to crashes inside
locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() called from __mark_inode_dirty().
Fix the problem by initializing noop_backing_dev_info before the
filesystems get mounted.
Fixes: 10e14073107d ("writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not be protected by inode->i_lock error")

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.
