Subject: RDS: null pointer dereference in rds_atomic_free_op

From: Mohamed Ghannam <simo.ghannam@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit 7d11f77f84b27cef452cee332f4e469503084737 ]

set rm->atomic.op_active to 0 when rds_pin_pages() fails
or the user supplied address is invalid,
this prevents a NULL pointer usage in rds_atomic_free_op()
