ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference in ext4_mark_inode_dirty() 

[ Upstream commit 5e1021f2b6 ]

ext4_reserve_inode_write() in ext4_mark_inode_dirty() could fail on
error (e.g. EIO) and iloc.bh can be NULL in this case. But the error is
ignored in the following "if" condition and ext4_expand_extra_isize()
might be called with NULL iloc.bh set, which triggers NULL pointer
dereference.

This is uncovered by commit 8b4953e13f ("ext4: reserve code points for
the project quota feature"), which enlarges the ext4_inode size, and
run the following script on new kernel but with old mke2fs:

  #/bin/bash
  mnt=/mnt/ext4
  devname=ext4-error
  dev=/dev/mapper/$devname
  fsimg=/home/fs.img

  trap cleanup 0 1 2 3 9 15

  cleanup()
  {
          umount $mnt >/dev/null 2>&1
          dmsetup remove $devname
          losetup -d $backend_dev
          rm -f $fsimg
          exit 0
  }

  rm -f $fsimg
  fallocate -l 1g $fsimg
  backend_dev=`losetup -f --show $fsimg`
  devsize=`blockdev --getsz $backend_dev`

  good_tab="0 $devsize linear $backend_dev 0"
  error_tab="0 $devsize error $backend_dev 0"

  dmsetup create $devname --table "$good_tab"

  mkfs -t ext4 $dev
  mount -t ext4 -o errors=continue,strictatime $dev $mnt

  dmsetup load $devname --table "$error_tab" && dmsetup resume $devname
  echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  ls -l $mnt
  exit 0

[ Patch changed to simplify the function a tiny bit. -- Ted ]
