[PATCH] CIFS: check if pages is null rather than bv for a failed allocation

From: Colin King
Date: Wed May 17 2017 - 14:24:26 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

pages is being allocated however a null check on bv is being used
to see if the allocation failed. Fix this by checking if pages is
null.
