Subject: [PATCH 6.6 330/638] erofs: fix handling kern_mount() failure

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 2c88c16dc20e88dd54d2f6f4d01ae1dce6cc9654 ]

if you have a variable that holds NULL or  a pointer to live struct mount,
do not shove ERR_PTR() into it - not if you later treat "not NULL" as
"holds a pointer to object".
