fs,hugetlb: fix NULL pointer dereference in hugetlbs_fill_super

Audra Mitchell requested to merge aubaker/centos-stream-9:rhel20615 into main

JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-20615
CVE: CVE-2024-0841

Conflicts:
Minor context difference due to missing commit:
d00365175e09 ("hugetlbfs: use helper macro SZ_1{K,M}")
We could bring in d00365175e09, but it is part of a cleanup
series and should be brought in by the fs team if they desire it.

This patch is a backport of the following upstream commit:
commit 79d72c68c58784a3e1cd2378669d51bfd0cb7498

fs,hugetlb: fix NULL pointer dereference in hugetlbs_fill_super  

When configuring a hugetlb filesystem via the fsconfig() syscall, there is  
a possible NULL dereference in hugetlbfs_fill_super() caused by assigning  
NULL to ctx->hstate in hugetlbfs_parse_param() when the requested pagesize  
is non valid.  

E.g: Taking the following steps:  

     fd = fsopen("hugetlbfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);  
     fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pagesize", "1024", 0);  
     fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0);  

Given that the requested "pagesize" is invalid, ctxt->hstate will be replaced  
with NULL, losing its previous value, and we will print an error:  

 ...  
 ...  
 case Opt_pagesize:  
 ps = memparse(param->string, &rest);  
 ctx->hstate = h;  
 if (!ctx->hstate) {  
         pr_err("Unsupported page size %lu MB\n", ps / SZ_1M);  
         return -EINVAL;  
 }  
 return 0;  
 ...  
 ...  

This is a problem because later on, we will dereference ctxt->hstate in  
hugetlbfs_fill_super()  

 ...  
 ...  
 sb->s_blocksize = huge_page_size(ctx->hstate);  
 ...  
 ...  

Causing below Oops.  

Fix this by replacing cxt->hstate value only when then pagesize is known  
to be valid.
