---[ end trace 860260654f1f416a ]---
The reason is that in getfattr there are two steps which is indicated by strace info:
1) try to lookup and get size of specified xattr.
2) get value of the extented attribute.
strace info:
getxattr("/mnt/f2fs/file", "system.advise", 0x0, 0) = 1
getxattr("/mnt/f2fs/file", "system.advise", "\x00", 256) = 1
For the first step, getfattr may pass a NULL pointer in @value and zero in @size
as parameters for ->getxattr, but we access this @value pointer directly without
checking whether the pointer is valid or not in f2fs_xattr_advise_get, so the
oops occurs.
This patch fixes this issue by verifying @value pointer before using.
