vfs: fix NULL pointer dereference in fsync_buffers_list()

Browse source 
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.
