Subject: [PATCH 3.4 39/43] fs: btrfs: volumes.c: Fix for possible null pointer dereference

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

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

From: Rickard Strandqvist <rickard_strandqvist@...ctrumdigital.se>

commit 8321cf2596d283821acc466377c2b85bcd3422b7 upstream.

There is otherwise a risk of a possible null pointer dereference.

Was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.
