Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix error pointer dereference in
 ext4_mb_load_buddy_gfp()

This code calls folio_put() on an error pointer which will lead to a
crash.  Check for both error pointers and NULL pointers before calling
folio_put().

Fixes: 5eea586b47f0 ("ext4: convert bd_buddy_page to bd_buddy_folio")
