[PATCH] fuse: avoid clobbering fc->release with fuse_conn_init(fc)

From: Jeremiah Mahler
Date: Sun May 31 2015 - 21:31:34 EST


fuse_conn_init(fc) zeros the entire fc structure before it assigns
specific values. Since fc->release is set before fuse_conn_init(fc)
is called, the value gets set to zero, which results in a NULL pointer
deference when fc->release() is called. Fix the problem by assigning
fc->release after calling fuse_conn_init(fc) instead of before.
