From: Dan Carpenter dan.carpenter@oracle.com
[ Upstream commit 293dffaad8d500e1a5336eeb90d544cf40d4fbd8 ]
If there is not enough space then ceph_decode_32_safe() does a goto bad. We need to return an error code in that situation. The current code returns ERR_PTR(0) which is NULL. The callers are not expecting that and it results in a NULL dereference.
