3.16.7-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

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

From: Jan Kara <j...@suse.cz>

commit 599a9b77ab289d85c2d5c8607624efbe1f552b0f upstream.

When we fail to load block bitmap in __ext4_new_inode() we will
dereference NULL pointer in ext4_journal_get_write_access(). So check
for error from ext4_read_block_bitmap().
