Subject: [PATCH 5.8 041/232] btrfs: check correct variable after allocation in btrfs_backref_iter_alloc

From: Boleyn Su <boleynsu@...gle.com>

commit c15c2ec07a26b251040943a1a9f90d3037f041e5 upstream.

The `if (!ret)` check will always be false and it may result in
ret->path being dereferenced while it is a NULL pointer.

Fixes: a37f232b7b65 ("btrfs: backref: introduce the skeleton of btrfs_backref_iter")
