Will it this way and resent the patch

I did the change consciously. If bp were NULL, error would have been set
to ENOMEM, and xfs_ioerror_alert() and xfs_buf_relse(), would have
accessed bp and tripped anyways. So, I felt using the indirection
(xfs_buf_geterror()) is not adding any value, hence set error by
directly accessing b_error.
There are more place like these.
What do you think of this option
Leave this as is (with b_error), and send another patch to check for bp
after xfs_buf_read() in all places (if you want this option, what do you
think error should be set to, I see both EIO and ENOMEM used. I think it
should be the same always).
If you don't like that option I can revert to xfs_buf_geterror() too.
