fs/binfmt_misc.c: node could be NULL when evicting inode

inode->i_private is assigned by a Node pointer only after registering a
new binary format, so it could be NULL if inode was created by
bm_fill_super() (or iput() was called by the error path in
bm_register_write()), and this could result in NULL pointer dereference
when evicting such an inode.  e.g.  mount binfmt_misc filesystem then
umount it immediately:

  mount -t binfmt_misc binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
  umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc

will result in

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000013
