    Subject[092/205] sysvfs: fix NULL deref. when allocating new inode
    2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk>

    commit 46c23d7f520e315dde86881b38ba92ebdf34ced5 upstream.

    A call to sysv_write_inode() in sysv_new_inode() to its new interface that
    replaced wait flag with writeback structure. This was broken by
    a9185b41a4f84971b930c519f0c63bd450c4810d ("pass writeback_control to
    ->write_inode").
