[PATCH] fs: xfs: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in xfs_buf_ioapply_map()

[PATCH] fs: xfs: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in xfs_buf_ioapply_map()

[Zixuan Fu]

In our fault-injection testing, bio_alloc() may fail with low memory and
return NULL. In this case, the variable "bio" in xfs_buf_ioapply_map()
would be NULL and then it is dereferenced by the next instruction
"bio->bi_iter.bi_sector".

The failure log is listed as follows:

This patch adds a NULL check of "bio" and return immediately if it's NULL.
