nilfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in nilfs_load_super_block()
According to the report from Slicky Devil, nilfs caused kernel oops at
nilfs_load_super_block function during mount after he shrank the
partition without resizing the filesystem:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000048

CR2: 0000000000000048
This turned out due to a defect in an error path which runs if the
calculated location of the secondary super block was invalid.
This patch fixes it and eliminates the reported oops.
