Markus Weippert bb6cc25386 bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR
Commit 028ddcac47 ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") replaced IS_ERR_OR_NULL by IS_ERR. This leads to a
NULL pointer dereference.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000080

The relevant code starts with:

    new_nodes[0] = NULL;

    for (i = 0; i < nodes; i++) {
        if (__bch_keylist_realloc(&keylist, bkey_u64s(&r[i].b->key)))
            goto out_nocoalesce;
    // ...
out_nocoalesce:
    // ...
    for (i = 0; i < nodes; i++)
        if (!IS_ERR(new_nodes[i])) {  // IS_ERR_OR_NULL before
028ddcac47
            btree_node_free(new_nodes[i]);  // new_nodes[0] is NULL
            rw_unlock(true, new_nodes[i]);
        }

This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
