to avoid s_root being used.

As 'ext4_rename' will modify 'old.inode' ctime and mark inode dirty,
which may trigger expand 'extra_isize' and allocate block. If inode
didn't init quota will lead to warning. To solve above issue, init
'old.inode' firstly in 'ext4_rename'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: tifm: fix possible memory leak in tifm_7xx1_switch_media()
If device_register() returns error in tifm_7xx1_switch_media(),
name of kobject which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add()
is leaked.
Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized.

This is because in scatterwalk_copychunks(), we attempted to write to
a buffer (@sign) that was allocated in the stack (vmalloc area) by
crypt_message() and thus accessing its remaining 8 (x2) bytes ended up
crossing a page boundary.
To simply fix it, we could just pass @sign kmalloc'd from
crypt_message() and then we're done. Luckily, we don't seem to pass
any other vmalloc'd buffers in smb_rqst::rq_iov...
Instead, let's map the correct pages and offsets from vmalloc buffers
as well in cifs_sg_set_buf() and then avoiding such oopses.
