From: Zixuan Fu <r33s3n6@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0d4837fdb796f99369cf7691d33de1b856bcaf1f ] In our fault-injection testing, the variable "nblocks" in dbFree() can be zero when kmalloc_array() fails in dtSearch(). In this case, the variable "mp" in dbFree() would be NULL and then it is dereferenced in "write_metapage(mp)". The failure log is listed as follows: [ 13.824137] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 ...

This patch adds a NULL check of "mp" before "write_metapage(mp)" is called.
