commit 0465337c5599bbe360cdcff452992a1a6b7ed2d4 upstream.

Eric reported an issue where mounting -o recovery with a fuzzed fs
resulted in a kernel panic. This is because we tried to free the tree
node, except it was an error from the read. Fix this by properly
resetting the tree_root->node == NULL in this case. The panic was the
following

BTRFS warning (device loop0): failed to read tree root

Nik says: this is problematic only if we fail on the last iteration of
the loop as this results in init_tree_roots returning err value with
tree_root->node = -ERR. Subsequently the caller does: fail_tree_roots
which calls free_root_pointers on the bogus value.
