vfs: fix NULL pointer dereference in fsync_buffers_list()
Fix NULL pointer dereference in fsync_buffers_list() introduced by recent fix of races in private_list handling. Since bh->b_assoc_map has been cleared in __remove_assoc_queue() we should really use original value stored in the 'mapping' variable.
