[patch 7/8] dm verity fec: Check result of init_rs()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Wed Mar 28 2018 - 16:57:38 EST


The allocation of the reed solomon control structure can fail, but
fec_alloc_bufs() ignores that and subsequent operations in dm verity use
the potential NULL pointer unconditionally.

Add a proper check and abort if init_rs() fails.
