In xfs_setattr_nonsize(), xfs_trans_alloc() gets its memory from
_xfs_trans_alloc() which gets it from kmem_zone_zalloc() which may
fail and return NULL. So this:
tp = xfs_trans_alloc(mp, XFS_TRANS_SETATTR_NOT_SIZE);
may result in a NULL 'tp'.
If it does, then the call:
error = xfs_trans_reserve(tp, 0, XFS_ICHANGE_LOG_RES(mp), 0, 0, 0);
with a NULL 'tp' will explode, since xfs_trans_reserve() dereferences
its first argument unconditionally.
And if the memory allocation for 'tp' goes well (and thus
xfs_trans_reserve() does not explode) then we may leak the memory
allocated to 'tp' if xfs_trans_reserve() returns error.
I believe this patch should fix both issues, but I'm not intimate with
the XFS code at all, so there can easily be something I overlooked or
something that should be done differently than what I did.

Please review carefully before applying.
Especially since I don't currently have any XFS filesystems to test
this on, nor any clear idea of a good way to actually test this if I
had. So this patch is compile tested only on my end.
