If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Artem Bityutskiy commit 54acbaaa523ca0bd284a18f67ad213c379679e86 upstream. Thanks to coverity which spotted that UBIFS will oops if 'kmalloc()' in 'read_pnode()' fails and we dereference a NULL 'pnode' pointer when we 'goto out'.
