Subject: [patch 1/2 v2] ext4: simplify some code in read_mmp_block()

My static check complains because we have:

	if (!*bh)
		return -ENOMEM;
	if (*bh) {

The second check is unnecessary.

I've simplified this code by moving the "if (!*bh)" checks around.  Also
Andreas Dilger says we should probably print a warning if sb_getblk()
fails.

v2: move the code around even more, add a warning message
