Subject: blk-mq: fix double-free in error path
From: Tony Battersby <tonyb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 564e559f2baf6a868768d0cac286980b3cfd6e30 upstream.
If the allocation of bt->bs fails, then bt->map can be freed twice, once
in blk_mq_init_bitmap_tags() -> bt_alloc(), and once in
blk_mq_init_bitmap_tags() -> bt_free(). Fix by setting the pointer to
NULL after the first free.
