[lvc-project] [PATCH] ntfs: do not dereference a null ctx on error

[Danila Chernetsov]

In ntfs_mft_data_extend_allocation_nolock(), if an error condition occurs
prior to 'ctx' being set to a non-NULL value, avoid dereferencing the NULL
'ctx' pointer in error handling.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
