reiserfs: fix oops while creating privroot with selinux enabled

commit 6cb4aff0a77cc0e6bae9475d62205319e3ebbf3f upstream.

Commit 57fe60df ("reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes
during inode creation") contains a bug that will cause it to oops when
mounting a file system that didn't previously contain extended attributes
on a system using security.* xattrs.

The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
dereferences the xattr root.  The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get an
oops.
