[PATCH 1/4] fs/btrfs/inode.c: Add missing IS_ERR test

After the conditional that precedes the following code, inode may be an
ERR_PTR value.  This can eg result from a memory allocation failure via the
call to btrfs_iget, and thus does not imply that root is different than
sub_root.  Thus, an IS_ERR check is added to ensure that there is no
dereference of inode in this case.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
identifier f;
@@
f(...) { ... return ERR_PTR(...); }

@@
identifier r.f, fld;
expression x;
statement S1,S2;
@@
 x = f(...)
 ... when != IS_ERR(x)
(
 if (IS_ERR(x) ||...) S1 else S2
|
*x->fld
)
// </smpl>
