This NULL derefs linux-next.

Emergency (sysrq remount/reboot):

emergency_remount()
do_emergency_remount()
do_emergency_remount_callback()
reconfigure_super()

At fc->ops dereference:

981 if (fc->ops->reconfigure) {
^^^^^^^^^
982 retval = fc->ops->reconfigure(fc);
983 if (retval == 0) {
984 security_sb_reconfigure(fc);


So the check either better be

if (fc->ops && fc->ops->reconfigure)

Or, we need to set ->ops properly. But I'm not sure if invoking
->init_fs_context() from emergency-reboot path is going to work
well all the time.
