Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: add missing NULL check in btrfs_free_tree_block()

In commit 3ba2d3648f9dc (btrfs: reflow btrfs_free_tree_block), the block
group lookup using btrfs_lookup_block_group() was added in btrfs_free_tree_block().
However, the return value of this function is not checked for a NULL result,
which can lead to null pointer dereferences if the block group is not found.

This patch adds a check to ensure that if btrfs_lookup_block_group() returns
NULL, the function will gracefully exit, preventing further operations that
rely on a valid block group pointer.
