Subject: [PATCH 4.9 18/78] hfs: prevent crash on exit from failed search

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

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

From: "Ernesto A. Fernández" <ernesto.mnd.fernandez@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit dc2572791d3a41bab94400af2b6bca9d71ccd303 ]

hfs_find_exit() expects fd->bnode to be NULL after a search has failed.
hfs_brec_insert() may instead set it to an error-valued pointer.  Fix
this to prevent a crash.
