[PATCH] btrfs: fix potential null pointer dereference bug

From: Cong Ding
Date: Sat Jan 19 2013 - 10:28:01 EST


The bug happens when rb_node == NULL. It causes variable node to be NULL and
then the NULL pointer is dereferenced this line:
BUG_ON((struct btrfs_root *)node->data != root);

Based on my analysis, function tree_search should not return NULL to variable
rb_node in this case (otherwise here has to be something unknown thing wrong),
so I replace "if (rb_node)" with UG_ON(!rb_node).
