From: Yiwen Jiang <jiangyiwen at huawei.com>

2 nodes cluster, say Node A and Node B, mount the same ocfs2 volume,
and create a file 1.

Node A			Node B
open 1, get open lock
                        rm 1, and then add 1 to orphan_dir
storage link down,
o2hb_write_timeout
->o2quo_disk_timeout
->emergency_restart
                        at the moment, Node B dismount and do
			ocfs2rec simultaneously
                        1) ocfs2_dismount_volume
			->ocfs2_recovery_exit
			->wait_event(osb->recovery_event)
			->flush_workqueue(ocfs2_wq)
			2) ocfs2rec
			->queue_work(&journal->j_recovery_work)
                        ->ocfs2_recover_orphans
			->ocfs2_commit_truncate
                        ->queue_delayed_work(&osb->osb_truncate_log_wq)

In ocfs2_recovery_exit, it flushes workqueue and then releases system
inodes. When doing ocfs2rec, it will call ocfs2_flush_truncate_log
which will try to get sys_root_inode, and NULL pointer dereference
occurs.
