[ 135/135] bcache: Fix a null ptr deref regression

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2fe80d3bbf1c8bd9efc5b8154207c8dd104e7306 upstream.

Commit c0f04d88e46d ("bcache: Fix flushes in writeback mode") was fixing
a reported data corruption bug, but it seems some last minute
refactoring or rebasing introduced a null pointer deref.
