Subject[PATCH] ext4: init error handle resource before init group descriptors
Date
From: Ye Bin <yebin10@huawei.com>

Now, 's_err_report' timer is init after ext4_group_desc_init() when fill
super. Theoretically, ext4_group_desc_init() may access to error handle
as follows:
__ext4_fill_super
ext4_group_desc_init
ext4_check_descriptors
ext4_get_group_desc
ext4_error
ext4_handle_error
ext4_commit_super
ext4_update_super
if (!es->s_error_count)
mod_timer(&sbi->s_err_report, jiffies + 24*60*60*HZ);
--> Accessing Uninitialized Variables
timer_setup(&sbi->s_err_report, print_daily_error_info, 0);

Maybe above issue is just theoretical, as ext4_check_descriptors() didn't
judge 'gpd' which get from ext4_get_group_desc(), if access to error handle
ext4_get_group_desc() will return NULL, then will trigger null-ptr-deref in
ext4_check_descriptors().
However, from the perspective of pure code, it is better to initialize
resource that may need to be used first.
