[PATCH 08/12] GFS2: GFS2 will panic if you misspell any mount options

[Steven Whitehouse]

From: Abhijith Das <adas@xxxxxxxxxx>

The gfs2 superblock pointer is NULL after a failed mount. When control
eventually goes to gfs2_kill_sb, we dereference this NULL pointer. This
patch ensures that the gfs2 superblock pointer is not NULL before being
dereferenced in gfs2_kill_sb.
