ocfs2: don't put and assigning null to bh allocated outside
[ Upstream commit cf76c78595ca87548ca5e45c862ac9e0949c4687 ]
ocfs2_read_blocks() and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() are both used to read
several blocks from disk. Currently, the input argument *bhs* can be
NULL or NOT. It depends on the caller's behavior. If the function
fails in reading blocks from disk, the corresponding bh will be assigned
to NULL and put.
Obviously, above process for non-NULL input bh is not appropriate.
Because the caller doesn't even know its bhs are put and re-assigned.
If buffer head is managed by caller, ocfs2_read_blocks and
ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() should not evaluate it to NULL. It will cause
caller accessing illegal memory, thus crash.
