Subject: [PATCH] udf: Check for IS_ERR in udf_get_pblock_meta25

udf_find_metadata_inode_efe returns an error pointer, not just
NULL. Check the return with IS_ERR appropriately.

Came out of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301295, I never
heard back from the reporter so I've had this sitting around for a bit and
haven't been able to confirm it fixes the crash. The logic makes sense
for the crash though.
