Subject: [PATCH 5.7 135/166] btrfs: reset tree root pointer after error in init_tree_roots

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

commit 0465337c5599bbe360cdcff452992a1a6b7ed2d4 upstream.

Eric reported an issue where mounting -o recovery with a fuzzed fs
resulted in a kernel panic.  This is because we tried to free the tree
node, except it was an error from the read.  Fix this by properly
resetting the tree_root->node == NULL in this case.  The panic was the
following

  BTRFS warning (device loop0): failed to read tree root
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000001f

Nik says: this is problematic only if we fail on the last iteration of
the loop as this results in init_tree_roots returning err value with
tree_root->node = -ERR. Subsequently the caller does: fail_tree_roots
which calls free_root_pointers on the bogus value.
