Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 2/2] btrfs: fix warning on PTR_ERR() against NULL device at btrfs_control_ioctl()

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 2342d6595b608eec94187a17dc112dd4c2a812fa ]

Smatch complains about calling PTR_ERR() against a NULL pointer:

  fs/btrfs/super.c:2272 btrfs_control_ioctl() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'

Fix this by calling PTR_ERR() against the device pointer only if it
contains an error.
