[RFC PATCH 58/68] hypfs: Fix error number left in struct pointer member

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Mar 27 2019 - 19:48:02 EST


In hypfs_fill_super(), if hypfs_create_update_file() fails,
sbi->update_file is left holding an error number. This is passed to
hypfs_kill_super() which doesn't check for this.

Fix this by not setting sbi->update_value until after we've checked for
error.
