Subject: [PATCH] nfs: Check whether a layout pointer is NULL before free it

From: Yanchuan Nian <[email protected]>

The new layout pointer in pnfs_find_alloc_layout() may be NULL because of
out of memory. we must do some check work, otherwise pnfs_free_layout_hdr()
will go wrong because it can not deal with a NULL pointer.
