Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix access to uninitialised lock in fc replay path
The following kernel trace can be triggered with fstest generic/629 when
executed against a filesystem with fast-commit feature enabled:
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
turning off the locking correctness validator.
CPU: 0 PID: 866 Comm: mount Not tainted 6.10.0+ #11
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.16.2-3-gd478f380-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014

In the replay path there's an attempt to lock sbi->s_bdev_wb_lock in
function ext4_check_bdev_write_error(). Unfortunately, at this point this
spinlock has not been initialized yet. Moving it's initialization to an
earlier point in __ext4_fill_super() fixes this splat.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 6.10.14)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.11 < 6.11.3)
