Subject[PATCH 2/7] GFS2: Fix possible null pointer deref in gfs2_rs_alloc
Date
From: Andrew Price <anprice@redhat.com>

Despite the return value from kmem_cache_zalloc() being checked, the
error wasn't being returned until after a possible null pointer
dereference. This patch returns the error immediately, allowing the
removal of the error variable.
