FS-Cache: Retain the netfs context in the retrieval op earlier
Now that the retrieval operation may be disposed of by fscache_put_operation() before we actually set the context, the retrieval-specific cleanup operation can produce a NULL-pointer dereference when it tries to unconditionally clean up the netfs context. Given that it is expected that we'll get at least as far as the place where we currently set the context pointer and it is unlikely we'll go through the error handling paths prior to that point, retain the context right from the point that the retrieval op is allocated. Concomitant to this, we need to retain the cookie pointer in the retrieval op also so that we can call the netfs to release its context in the release method. In addition, we might now get into fscache_release_retrieval_op() with the op only initialised. To this end, set the operation to DEAD only after the release method has been called and skip the n_pages test upon cleanup if the op is still in the INITIALISED state. Without these changes, the following oops might be seen: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000b8 ...
