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

f2fs: fix to truncate preallocated blocks in f2fs_file_open()

chenyuwen reports a f2fs bug as below:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000011
 fscrypt_set_bio_crypt_ctx+0x78/0x1e8
 f2fs_grab_read_bio+0x78/0x208

 do_el0_svc+0x28/0xa0
 el0_svc+0x24/0x84
 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x88/0xec

It is because inode.i_crypt_info is not initialized during below path:
- mount
 - f2fs_fill_super
  - f2fs_disable_checkpoint
   - f2fs_gc
    - f2fs_iget
     - f2fs_truncate

So, let's relocate truncation of preallocated blocks to f2fs_file_open(),
after fscrypt_file_open().
