Subject[ 1/8] nilfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in nilfs_load_super_block()
3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

commit d7178c79d9b7c5518f9943188091a75fc6ce0675 upstream.

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
IP: [<d0d7a08e>] nilfs_load_super_block+0x17e/0x280 [nilfs2]

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.
