Subject: [PATCH v2] netfs, fscache: Prevent Oops in fscache_put_cache()

This function dereferences "cache" and then checks if it's
IS_ERR_OR_NULL().  Check first, then dereference.

Fixes: 9549332df4ed ("fscache: Implement cache registration")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>

v2: My first version introduced a race and a possible use after free.
