4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]> commit 8c25741aaad8be6fbe51510e917c740e0059cf83 upstream. ovl_free_fs() dereferences ofs->workbasedir and ofs->upper_mnt in cases when those might not have been initialized yet. Fix the initialization order for these fields.
