btrfs: Don't pass NULL ptr to func that may deref it.
Hi, In fs/btrfs/inode.c::fixup_tree_root_location() we have this code: ... if (!path) { err = -ENOMEM; goto out; } ... out: btrfs_free_path(path); return err; btrfs_free_path() passes its argument on to other functions and some of them end up dereferencing the pointer. In the code above that pointer is clearly NULL, so btrfs_free_path() will eventually cause a NULL dereference. There are many ways to cut this cake (fix the bug). The one I chose was to make btrfs_free_path() deal gracefully with NULL pointers. If you disagree, feel free to come up with an alternative patch.
