Subject: [PATCH] jffs2: ensure wbuf_verify is valid before using it.

Now MTD emulated by UBI volumn doesn't allocate wbuf_verify in
jffs2_ubivol_setup(), because UBI can do the verifcation itself,
so when CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY is enabled and a MTD device
emulated by UBI volumn is used, a Oops will occur as show in the
following trace:

    general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
    CPU: 6 PID: 404 Comm: kworker/6:1 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc8
    Workqueue: events_long delayed_wbuf_sync
    RIP: 0010:ubi_io_read+0x156/0x650

Fix the problem by checking the validity of wbuf_verify before
using it in jffs2_verify_write().
