Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fs/minix: check return value of sb_getblk()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

sb_getblk() can fail, so check its return value.

This fixes a NULL pointer dereference.

Reported-by: syzbot+4a88b2b9dc280f47baf4@...kaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
