Subject: [PATCH 3.16 050/148] ext2: check err when partial != NULL

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

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

From: Chengguang Xu <cgxu519@...ernel.net>

commit e705f4b8aa27a59f8933e8f384e9752f052c469c upstream.

Check err when partial == NULL is meaningless because
partial == NULL means getting branch successfully without
error.
