Subject: [PATCH 3.10 103/129] ceph: fix null pointer dereference

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

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

From: Nathaniel Yazdani <n1ght.4nd.d4y@...il.com>

commit c338c07c51e3106711fad5eb599e375eadb6855d upstream.

When register_session() is given an out-of-range argument for mds,
ceph_mdsmap_get_addr() will return a null pointer, which would be given to
ceph_con_open() & be dereferenced, causing a kernel oops. This fixes bug #4685
in the Ceph bug tracker <http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/4685>.
