inode->i_private is assigned by a Node pointer only after registering a
new binary format, so it could be NULL if inode was created by
bm_fill_super() (or iput() was called by the error path in
bm_register_write()), and this could result in NULL pointer dereference
when evicting such an inode. e.g. mount binfmt_misc filesystem then
umount it immediately:
mount -t binfmt_misc binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
will result in

Fix it by making sure Node (e) is not NULL.
