ext4: fix null pointer dereference on sbi
In the case of a kzalloc failure when allocating sbi we end up with a null pointer dereference on sbi when assigning sbi->s_daxdev. Fix this by moving the assignment of sbi->s_daxdev to after the null pointer check of sbi. Detected by CoverityScan CID#1455379 ("Dereference before null check") Fixes: 5e405595e5bf ("ext4: perform dax_device lookup at mount") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
