Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 07/47] 9p: virtio: fix unlikely null pointer deref in handle_rerror

From: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@...ewreck.org>

[ Upstream commit 13ade4ac5c28e8a014fa85278f5a4270b215f906 ]

handle_rerror can dereference the pages pointer, but it is not
necessarily set for small payloads.
In practice these should be filtered out by the size check, but
might as well double-check explicitly.

This fixes the following scan-build warnings:
net/9p/trans_virtio.c:401:24: warning: Dereference of null pointer [core.NullDereference]
                memcpy_from_page(to, *pages++, offs, n);
                                     ^~~~~~~~
net/9p/trans_virtio.c:406:23: warning: Dereference of null pointer (loaded from variable 'pages') [core.NullDereference]
        memcpy_from_page(to, *pages, offs, size);
                             ^~~~~~
