Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 09/40] bcache: add code comments for bch_btree_node_get() and __bch_btree_node_alloc()

From: Coly Li <colyli@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 31f5b956a197d4ec25c8a07cb3a2ab69d0c0b82f ]

This patch adds code comments to bch_btree_node_get() and
__bch_btree_node_alloc() that NULL pointer will not be returned and it
is unnecessary to check NULL pointer by the callers of these routines.
