ecryptfs: avoid to access NULL pointer when write metadata in xattr

commit 35425ea2492175fd39f6116481fe98b2b3ddd4ca upstream.

Christopher Head 2014-06-28 05:26:20 UTC described:
"I tried to reproduce this on 3.12.21. Instead, when I do "echo hello > foo"
in an ecryptfs mount with ecryptfs_xattr specified, I get a kernel crash:

If we create a file when we mount with ecryptfs_xattr_metadata option, we will
encounter a crash in this path:
->ecryptfs_create
  ->ecryptfs_initialize_file
    ->ecryptfs_write_metadata
      ->ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_xattr
        ->ecryptfs_setxattr
          ->fsstack_copy_attr_all
It's because our dentry->d_inode used in fsstack_copy_attr_all is NULL, and it
will be initialized when ecryptfs_initialize_file finish.

So we should skip copying attr from lower inode when the value of ->d_inode is
invalid.
