Btrfs: Make free_ipath() deal gracefully with NULL pointers
Make free_ipath() behave like most other freeing functions in the kernel and gracefully do nothing when passed a NULL pointer. Besides this making the bahaviour consistent with functions such as kfree(), vfree(), btrfs_free_path() etc etc, it also fixes a real NULL deref issue in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c::btrfs_ioctl_ino_to_path(). In that function we have this code: ... ipath = init_ipath(size, root, path); if (IS_ERR(ipath)) { ret = PTR_ERR(ipath); ipath = NULL; goto out; } ... out: btrfs_free_path(path); free_ipath(ipath); ... If we ever take the true branch of that 'if' statement we'll end up passing a NULL pointer to free_ipath() which will subsequently dereference it and we'll go "Boom" :-( This patch will avoid that.
