When system memory is in heavy pressure, bch_gc_thread_start() from
run_cache_set() may fail due to out of memory. In such condition,
c->gc_thread is assigned to -ENOMEM, not NULL pointer. Then in following
failure code path bch_cache_set_error(), when cache_set_flush() gets
called, the code piece to stop c->gc_thread is broken,
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->gc_thread))
kthread_stop(c->gc_thread);
And KASAN catches such NULL pointer deference problem, with the warning
information:

Therefore, it is not enough to only check whether c->gc_thread is NULL,
we should use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to check both NULL pointer and error
value.
This patch changes the above buggy code piece in this way,
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->gc_thread))
kthread_stop(c->gc_thread);
