ext4: check bh in ext4_read_block_bitmap()
Validate the bh pointer before using it, since ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() might return NULL. I've seen this in fsfuzz testing. EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait:385: comm touch: Cannot get buffer for block bitmap - block_group = 0, block_bitmap = 3925999616 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff8121de25>] ext4_wait_block_bitmap+0x25/0xe0 ...
