Subject: [PATCH 5.5 106/150] btrfs: reset fs_root to NULL on error in open_ctree

From: Josef Bacik <josef@...icpanda.com>

commit 315bf8ef914f31d51d084af950703aa1e09a728c upstream.

While running my error injection script I hit a panic when we tried to
clean up the fs_root when freeing the fs_root.  This is because
fs_info->fs_root == PTR_ERR(-EIO), which isn't great.  Fix this by
setting fs_info->fs_root = NULL; if we fail to read the root.
