stable inclusion from stable-5.10.50 commit f4e91a4e0d040c7950e647663206644beed95857 bugzilla: 174522 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DNFY
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 8f6840c4fd1e7bd715e403074fb161c1a04cda73 upstream.
After commit c89128a00838 ("ext4: handle errors on ext4_commit_super"), 'ret' may be set to 0 before calling ext4_fill_flex_info(), if ext4_fill_flex_info() fails ext4_mount() doesn't return error code, it makes 'root' is null which causes crash in legacy_get_tree().
