Subject: [27/98] ocfs2: potential ERR_PTR dereference on error paths

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <error27@...il.com>

commit 0350cb078f5035716ebdad4ad4709d02fe466a8a upstream.

If "handle" is non null at the end of the function then we assume it's a
valid pointer and pass it to ocfs2_commit_trans();
