The context_inode should always be initialized already.  I'm not fond
though of silently returning -EACCES here.  At the least we should
have a pr_err() or pr_warn() here.  In reality, this could only occur
in the case of a kernel bug or memory corruption so it used to be a
candidate for WARN_ON() or BUG_ON() or similar but I know that
BUG_ON() at least is frowned upon these days.
