Subject: [PATCH 3.16 037/136] btrfs: avoid null pointer dereference on
 fs_info when calling btrfs_crit

3.16.54-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

commit 3993b112dac968612b0b213ed59cb30f50b0015b upstream.

There are checks on fs_info in __btrfs_panic to avoid dereferencing a
null fs_info, however, there is a call to btrfs_crit that may also
dereference a null fs_info. Fix this by adding a check to see if fs_info
is null and only print the s_id if fs_info is non-null.

Detected by CoverityScan CID#401973 ("Dereference after null check")
