Subject: [PATCH] fs: ntfs3: Add check for mft_ni in mi_read()

In a previous commit 2681631c2973, the parameter ni of
attr_load_runs_vcn() can be NULL, and thus a NULL check is added.

However, in the same call stack, this variable is also dereferenced in
mi_read():

mi_read()
  ni_lock(mft_ni);
    attr_load_runs_vcn(mft_ni)
      if (ni) -> Add a check by previous commit (ni is mft_ni)
  ni_unlock(mft_ni);

Thus, to avoid possible null-pointer dereferences, mft_ni should be
also checked in mi_read().

These results are reported by a static tool designed by myself
