ext4: fix null-ptr-deref in ext4_write_info
I caught a null-ptr-deref bug as follows:
==================================================================
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000068-0x000000000000006f]
CPU: 1 PID: 1589 Comm: umount Not tainted 5.10.0-02219-dirty #339

Above issue may happen as follows:
-------------------------------------
exit_to_user_mode_prepare
task_work_run
__cleanup_mnt
cleanup_mnt
deactivate_super
deactivate_locked_super
kill_block_super
generic_shutdown_super
shrink_dcache_for_umount
dentry = sb->s_root
sb->s_root = NULL <--- Here set NULL
sync_filesystem
__sync_filesystem
sb->s_op->sync_fs > ext4_sync_fs
dquot_writeback_dquots
sb->dq_op->write_info > ext4_write_info
ext4_journal_start(d_inode(sb->s_root), EXT4_HT_QUOTA, 2)
d_inode(sb->s_root)
s_root->d_inode <--- Null pointer dereference
To solve this problem, we use ext4_journal_start_sb directly
to avoid s_root being used.
