Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: Fix NULL pointer dereferrence in __ocfs2_change_file_space

As ocfs2_fallocate() will invoke __ocfs2_change_file_space() with a NULL
as the first parameter (file), it may trigger a NULL pointer dereferrence
due to a missing check.  See http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006012.
