[ Upstream commit 2d892ccdc163a3d2e08c5ed1cea8b61bf7e4f531 ]

When trying to get a new fs root for a snapshot during the transaction
at transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot(), if btrfs_get_new_fs_root()
fails we leave "pending->snap" pointing to an error pointer, and then
later at ioctl.c:create_snapshot() we dereference that pointer, resulting
in a crash:

(gdb) list *(btrfs_mksubvol+0x438)
0x7c7b8 is in btrfs_mksubvol (fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:858).
853 ret = 0;
854 pending_snapshot->anon_dev = 0;
855 fail:
856 /* Prevent double freeing of anon_dev */
857 if (ret && pending_snapshot->snap)
858 pending_snapshot->snap->anon_dev = 0;
859 btrfs_put_root(pending_snapshot->snap);
860 btrfs_subvolume_release_metadata(root, &pending_snapshot->block_rsv);
861 free_pending:
862 if (pending_snapshot->anon_dev)

So fix this by setting "pending->snap" to NULL if we get an error from the
call to btrfs_get_new_fs_root() at transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot().

Fixes: 2dfb1e43f57dd3 ("btrfs: preallocate anon block device at first phase of snapshot creation")
