syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at reiserfs_security_init()
[1], for commit ab17c4f02156c4f7 ("reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching")
is assuming that REISERFS_SB(s)->xattr_root != NULL in
reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks() despite that commit made
REISERFS_SB(sb)->priv_root != NULL && REISERFS_SB(s)->xattr_root == NULL
case possible.

I guess that commit 6cb4aff0a77cc0e6 ("reiserfs: fix oops while creating
privroot with selinux enabled") wanted to check xattr_root != NULL
before reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks(), for the changelog is talking
about the xattr root.

  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.

Therefore, update reiserfs_xattrs_initialized() to check both the
privroot and the xattr root.
