Subject: [PATCH 5.4 42/46] Revert "jffs2: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in jffs2_add_frag_to_fragtree()"

From: Joel Stanley <joel@....id.au>

commit 6e78c01fde9023e0701f3af880c1fd9de6e4e8e3 upstream.

This reverts commit f2538f999345405f7d2e1194c0c8efa4e11f7b3a. The patch
stopped JFFS2 from being able to mount an existing filesystem with the
following errors:

 jffs2: error: (77) jffs2_build_inode_fragtree: Add node to tree failed -22
 jffs2: error: (77) jffs2_do_read_inode_internal: Failed to build final fragtree for inode #5377: error -22
