block: Initialize bd_bdi on inode initialization
So far we initialized bd_bdi only in bdget(). That is fine for normal bdev inodes however for the special case of the root inode of blockdev_superblock that function is never called and thus bd_bdi is left uninitialized. As a result bdev_evict_inode() may oops doing bdi_put(root->bd_bdi) on that inode as can be seen when doing: mount -t bdev none /mnt Fix the problem by initializing bd_bdi when first allocating the inode and then reinitializing bd_bdi in bdev_evict_inode(). Thanks to syzkaller team for finding the problem.
