[PATCH 5.4 016/122] udf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in udf_symlink function

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit fa236c2b2d4436d9f19ee4e5d5924e90ffd7bb43 ]

In function udf_symlink, epos.bh is assigned with the value returned
by udf_tgetblk. The function udf_tgetblk is defined in udf/misc.c
and returns the value of sb_getblk function that could be NULL.
Then, epos.bh is used without any check, causing a possible
NULL pointer dereference when sb_getblk fails.

This fix adds a check to validate the value of epos.bh.
