btrfs: avoid NULL pointer dereference if no valid extent tree
[ Upstream commit 6aecd91a5c5b68939cf4169e32bc49f3cd2dd329 ]

[CAUSE]
The reproducer is using a corrupted image where extent tree root is
corrupted, thus forcing to use "rescue=all,ro" mount option to mount the
image.
Then it triggered a scrub, but since scrub relies on extent tree to find
where the data/metadata extents are, scrub_find_fill_first_stripe()
relies on an non-empty extent root.
But unfortunately scrub_find_fill_first_stripe() doesn't really expect
an NULL pointer for extent root, it use extent_root to grab fs_info and
triggered a NULL pointer dereference.
[FIX]
Add an extra check for a valid extent root at the beginning of
scrub_find_fill_first_stripe().
The new error path is introduced by 42437a6386ff ("btrfs: introduce
mount option rescue=ignorebadroots"), but that's pretty old, and later
commit b979547513ff ("btrfs: scrub: introduce helper to find and fill
sector info for a scrub_stripe") changed how we do scrub.
So for kernels older than 6.6, the fix will need manual backport.
