Subject: [092/264] pnfsblock: fix NULL pointer dereference

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peng Tao <bergwolf@...il.com>

commit e6d05a757c314ad88d0649d3835a8a1daa964236 upstream.

bl_add_page_to_bio returns error pointer. bio should be reset to
NULL in failure cases as the out path always calls bl_submit_bio.
