[PATCH] Revert "jffs2: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in jffs2_add_frag_to_fragtree()"

[Joel Stanley <joel@xxxxxxxxx>]

This reverts commit f2538f999345405f7d2e1194c0c8efa4e11f7b3a. The patch
stopped JFFS2 from being able to mount an existing filesystem with the
following errors:

 jffs2: error: (77) jffs2_build_inode_fragtree: Add node to tree failed -22
 jffs2: error: (77) jffs2_do_read_inode_internal: Failed to build final fragtree for inode #5377: error -22

Fixes: f2538f999345 ("jffs2: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences...")

5.4 cannot mount (some?) jffs2 filesystems without this fix. Hou pointed
this out[1] a while back but the fix didn't make it in. It's still
broken in -next.
