Subject: [PATCH 4.9 172/245] dm btree remove: assign new_root only when removal succeeds

From: Hou Tao <houtao1@...wei.com>

commit b6e58b5466b2959f83034bead2e2e1395cca8aeb upstream.

remove_raw() in dm_btree_remove() may fail due to IO read error
(e.g. read the content of origin block fails during shadowing),
and the value of shadow_spine::root is uninitialized, but
the uninitialized value is still assign to new_root in the
end of dm_btree_remove().

For dm-thin, the value of pmd->details_root or pmd->root will become
an uninitialized value, so if trying to read details_info tree again
out-of-bound memory may occur as showed below:

  general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x3fdcb14c8d7520
  CPU: 4 PID: 515 Comm: dmsetup Not tainted 5.13.0-rc6
  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC
  RIP: 0010:metadata_ll_load_ie+0x14/0x30

Fixing it by only assign new_root when removal succeeds
