syzbot found that proc_fill_super() fails before filling up sb->s_fs_info,
deactivate_locked_super() will be called and sb->s_fs_info will be NULL.
The proc_kill_sb() does not expect fs_info to be NULL which is wrong.

For the case where s_fs_info is never allocated this looks correct.
That is because generic_shutdown_super has a special for !sb->s_root.

However for the existing cases I can't convince myself that it is safe
to change the order we free the pid namespace and free fs_info.

There is a lot of code that can run while generic_shutdown_super is
running and purging all of the inodes.  We have crazy things like
proc_flush_pid that might care, as well proc_evict_inode.

I haven't found anything that actually references fs_info or actually
depends on the pid namespace living longer than the proc inode but it
would be really easy to miss something.

Can you send a v2 version does not change the order things are freed in
for the case where we do allocate fs_info.  That will make it trivially
safe to apply.

Otherwise this looks like a very good patch.

Thank you,
Eric

While we are at it, dput(NULL) is an explicit no-op.
