due to ms->dirty_bitmap being NULL, which migh crash the host.
Make sure that ms->dirty_bitmap is set before using it or
print a warning and return -ENIVAL otherwise.

PS:
keeping it private for now as issue might DoS host,
I'll leave it upto maintainers to decide if it should be handled as security
bug (I'm not sure what process for handling such bugs should be used).
