In some specific situations, the return value of __bch_btree_node_alloc
may be NULL. This may lead to a potential NULL pointer dereference in
caller function like a calling chain :
btree_split->bch_btree_node_alloc->__bch_btree_node_alloc.
Fix it by initializing the return value in __bch_btree_node_alloc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
