This patch detects the error case and avoids that prior to reaching BUG_ON. Alexey Khoroshilov addressed the potential security issues as follows. "An ability to trigger a BUG_ON assert by mounting a crafted image is usually considered as a local denial of service [1-3]. As far as I understand, the reason is that some kernel data may become inconsistent that can lead to further problems.
