      nilfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in nilfs_load_super_block() · 6637749c
      Ryusuke Konishi authored
      commit d7178c79 upstream.
      
      According to the report from Slicky Devil, nilfs caused kernel oops at
      nilfs_load_super_block function during mount after he shrank the
      partition without resizing the filesystem:

      This turned out due to a defect in an error path which runs if the
      calculated location of the secondary super block was invalid.
      
      This patch fixes it and eliminates the reported oops.
