When mounting a squashfs fails, squashfs_cache_init() may return an error
pointer (e.g., -ENOMEM) instead of NULL. However, squashfs_cache_delete()
only checks for a NULL cache, and attempts to dereference the invalid
pointer. This leads to a kernel crash (BUG: unable to handle kernel paging
request in squashfs_cache_delete).
This patch fixes the issue by checking IS_ERR(cache) before accessing it.
Fixes: 49ff29240ebb ("squashfs: make squashfs_cache_init() return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)")
