fs: ntfs3: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in mi_read()
In a previous commit 2681631c ("fs/ntfs3: Add null pointer check to attr_load_runs_vcn"), ni can be NULL in attr_load_runs_vcn(), and thus it should be checked before being used. However, in the call stack of this commit, mft_ni in mi_read() is aliased with ni in attr_load_runs_vcn(), and it is also used in mi_read() at two places: mi_read() rw_lock = &mft_ni->file.run_lock -> No check attr_load_runs_vcn(mft_ni, ...) ni (namely mft_ni) is checked in the previous commit attr_load_runs_vcn(..., &mft_ni->file.run) -> No check Thus, to avoid possible null-pointer dereferences, the related checks should be added. These bugs are reported by a static analysis tool implemented by myself, and they are found by extending a known bug fixed in the previous commit. Thus, they could be theoretical bugs.
