When mounting a squashfs fails, squashfs_cache_init() may return an error
pointer (e.g., -ENOMEM) instead of NULL. However, squashfs_cache_delete()
only checks for a NULL cache, and attempts to dereference the invalid
pointer. This leads to a kernel crash (BUG: unable to handle kernel
paging request in squashfs_cache_delete).
This patch fixes the issue by checking IS_ERR(cache) before accessing it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
