NFSv4.2: fix error handling in nfs42_proc_getxattr
[ Upstream commit 4e3733fd2b0f677faae21cf838a43faf317986d3 ]
There is a slight issue with error handling code inside
nfs42_proc_getxattr(). If page allocating loop fails then we free the
failing page array element which is NULL but __free_page() can't deal with
NULL args.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
