Subject: [274/289] ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference in print_daily_error_info()

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

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

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@...il.com>

commit a1c6c5698d53db4c47a25c3a8d11731a4d7b8370 upstream.

Fix NULL pointer dereference in print_daily_error_info, when
called on unmounted fs (EXT4_SB(sb) returns NULL), by removing error
reporting timer in ext4_put_super.
