Subject: [PATCH] ext4: check bh in ext4_read_block_bitmap()

bh returned by ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() might be NULL, validate
the bh pointer before using it.

I've seen this in fsfuzz testing.

 EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait:385: comm touch: Cannot get buffer for block bitmap - block_group = 0, block_bitmap = 3925999616
 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
