syzbot is hitting WARN_ON(pstore_sb != sb) at pstore_kill_sb() [1], for the
assumption that pstore_sb != NULL is wrong because pstore_fill_super() will
not assign pstore_sb = sb when new_inode() for d_make_root() returned NULL
(due to memory allocation fault injection).
Since mount_single() calls pstore_kill_sb() when pstore_fill_super()
failed, pstore_kill_sb() needs to be aware of such failure path.
