Subject: ext4: fix check of dqget() return value in ext4_ioctl_setproject()

From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com>

commit ff0bc08454917964291f72ee5b8eca66de4bc250 upstream.

A failed call to dqget() returns an ERR_PTR() and not null. Fix
the check in ext4_ioctl_setproject() to handle this correctly.
