[PATCH 3.16 080/217] bcache: fix cache_set_flush() NULL pointer dereference on OOM

From: Ben Hutchings

3.16.35-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Wheeler <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f8b11260a445169989d01df75d35af0f56178f95 upstream.

When bch_cache_set_alloc() fails to kzalloc the cache_set, the
asyncronous closure handling tries to dereference a cache_set that
hadn't yet been allocated inside of cache_set_flush() which is called
by __cache_set_unregister() during cleanup. This appears to happen only
during an OOM condition on bcache_register.
