Subject: [PATCH 5.13 016/380] ceph: fix dereference of null pointer cf

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

commit 05a444d3f90a3c3e6362e88a1bf13e1a60f8cace upstream.

Currently in the case where kmem_cache_alloc fails the null pointer
cf is dereferenced when assigning cf->is_capsnap = false. Fix this
by adding a null pointer check and return path.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: b2f9fa1f3bd8 ("ceph: correctly handle releasing an embedded cap flush")
