Subject: ext4: fix oops when loading block bitmap failed
From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
commit 599a9b77ab289d85c2d5c8607624efbe1f552b0f upstream.
When we fail to load block bitmap in __ext4_new_inode() we will
dereference NULL pointer in ext4_journal_get_write_access(). So check
for error from ext4_read_block_bitmap().
