Subject: [PATCH 4.14 136/293] pnfs/flexfiles: Fix PTR_ERR() dereferences in ff_layout_track_ds_error

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...merspace.com>

commit 8e04fdfadda75a849c649f7e50fe7d97772e1fcb upstream.

mirror->mirror_ds can be NULL if uninitialised, but can contain
a PTR_ERR() if call to GETDEVICEINFO failed.

Fixes: 65990d1afbd2 ("pNFS/flexfiles: Fix a deadlock on LAYOUTGET")
