    I found this memory leak in my local syzkaller, and there is no any
    syzbot report about this crash, therefore I use such a Reported-by to
    indicate.

    Although my local syzkaller does generate any reproducer, this bug can
    be triggered by injecting faults at new_inode and d_make_root (i.e.,
    between s_sb_info allocation and code after d_make_root).

    As mentioned above, I just tested my change by injecting faults at
    new_inode and d_make_root.

    Can you explain more about "changed one problem for another one"? I
    don't quite understand this statement.
