This oops was brought in by the change "block: remove per-queue
plugging" (commit: 7eaceaccab5f40bb).  It initializes mapping->a_ops
with a NULL pointer for some pages in nilfs (e.g. btree node pages),
but mm code doesn't NULL pointer checks against mapping->a_ops. (the
check is done for each callback function)

This corrects the aops initialization and fixes the oops.
