Subject: [PATCH] ovl: Fix dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
Date:   Mon,  9 Sep 2019 16:29:56 +0800
Message-Id: <1568017796-27513-1-git-send-email-dingxiang@cmss.chinamobile.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

if ovl_encode_real_fh() fails, no memory was allocated
and the error in the error-valued pointer should be returned.

Fixes: 9b6faee0747 ("ovl: check ERR_PTR() return value from ovl_encode_fh()")
