Subject: [PATCH 147/270] libceph: avoid NULL kref_put when osd reset races with alloc_msg

3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sage Weil <sage@...tank.com>

commit 9bd952615a42d7e2ce3fa2c632e808e804637a1a upstream.

The ceph_on_in_msg_alloc() method drops con->mutex while it allocates a
message.  If that races with a timeout that resends a zillion messages and
resets the connection, and the ->alloc_msg() method returns a NULL message,
it will call ceph_msg_put(NULL) and BUG.

Fix by only calling put if msg is non-NULL.

Fixes http://tracker.newdream.net/issues/3142
