The code flow in btrfs_new_inode allows for btrfs_evict_inode to be called with not fully initialised inode (e.g. ->root member not being set). This can happen when btrfs_set_inode_index in btrfs_new_inode fails, which in turn would call iput for the newly allocated inode. This in turn leads to vfs calling into btrfs_evict_inode. This leads to null pointer dereference. To handle this situation check whether the passed inode has root set and just free it in case it doesn't.
