3.5.7.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eryu Guan <guaneryu@gmail.com>

commit 15b49132fc972c63894592f218ea5a9a61b1a18f upstream.

Validate the bh pointer before using it, since
ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() might return NULL.

I've seen this in fsfuzz testing.

 EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait:385: comm touch: Cannot get buffer for block bitmap - block_group = 0, block_bitmap = 3925999616
 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
