ocfs2: don't put and assigning null to bh allocated outside
ocfs2_read_blocks() and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() are both used to read several blocks from disk. Currently, the input argument *bhs* can be NULL or NOT. It depends on the caller's behavior. If the function fails in reading blocks from disk, the corresponding bh will be assigned to NULL and put. Obviously, above process for non-NULL input bh is not appropriate. Because the caller doesn't even know its bhs are put and re-assigned. If buffer head is managed by caller, ocfs2_read_blocks and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() should not evaluate it to NULL. It will cause caller accessing illegal memory, thus crash.
