Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix NULL dereference on root when tracing inode eviction

When evicting an inode the first thing we do is to setup tracing for it,
which implies fetching the root's id. But in btrfs_evict_inode() the
root might be NULL, as implied in the next check that we do in
btrfs_evict_inode().

Hence, we either should set the ->root_objectid to 0 in case the root is
NULL, or we move tracing setup after checking that the root is not
NULL. Setting the rootid to 0 at least gives us the possibility to trace
this call even in the case when the root is NULL, so that's the solution
taken here.
