xfs: Fix error pointer dereference

Browse source

commit cddfa648f1 upstream.

The function try_lookup_noperm() can return an error pointer and is not
checked for one.

Add checks for error pointer in xrep_adoption_check_dcache() and
xrep_adoption_zap_dcache().

Detected by Smatch:
fs/xfs/scrub/orphanage.c:449 xrep_adoption_check_dcache() error:
'd_child' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()

fs/xfs/scrub/orphanage.c:485 xrep_adoption_zap_dcache() error:
'd_child' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()

Fixes: 73597e3e42 ("xfs: ensure dentry consistency when the orphanage adopts a file")
