[PATCH] radix-tree: avoid NULL dereference

[Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>]

When idr_alloc() is called for the first time on an IDR (which has no
nodes in its radix tree), we end up with calculate_count() calling
get_slot_offset() with a NULL node, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference caught by UBSAN:

================================================================================

================================================================================

The result of the load is passed into node_tag_get(), which ignores the
value when node is NULL. Typically, the compiler inlines both
get_slot_offset() and node_tag_get() into calculate_count(), optimizing
away the NULL-pointer dereference, and hence this doesn't typically
result in a boot failure.

We can't rely on the compiler always doing this, and must avoid
dereferencing fields from node when it is potentially NULL.

To do so, this patch folds the generation of offset into tag_get(), such
that this only happens when node is not NULL. Callers are updated to
pass the relevant slot, rather than the offset derived from it.

I beleive this is what Valdis hit [1] back in March. I spotted this while
booting an arm64 machine.

Mark.
