commit 1468c6f4558b1bcd92aa0400f2920f9dc7588402 upstream.
Functions implementing the a_ops->write_end() interface accept the `void *fsdata` parameter that is supposed to be initialized by the corresponding a_ops->write_begin() (which accepts `void **fsdata`).
However not all a_ops->write_begin() implementations initialize `fsdata` unconditionally, so it may get passed uninitialized to a_ops->write_end(), resulting in undefined behavior.
Fix this by initializing fsdata with NULL before the call to write_begin(), rather than doing so in all possible a_ops implementations.
This patch covers only the following cases found by running x86 KMSAN under syzkaller:
- generic_perform_write() - cont_expand_zero() and generic_cont_expand_simple() - page_symlink()
Other cases of passing uninitialized fsdata may persist in the codebase.
