xfs: xfs_trans_read_buf() should return an error on failure
When inside a transaction and we fail to read a buffer, xfs_trans_read_buf returns a null buffer pointer and no error. xfs_do_da_buf() checks the error return, but not the buffer, and as a result this read failure condition causes a panic when it attempts to dereference the non-existant buffer. Make xfs_trans_read_buf() return the same error for this situation regardless of whether it is in a transaction or not. This means every caller does not need to check both the error return and the buffer before proceeding to use the buffer.
