[PATCH] Revert "jffs2: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in jffs2_add_frag_to_fragtree()"

[Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@gmail.com>]

This reverts commit f2538f999345405f7d2e1194c0c8efa4e11f7b3a.

Looks like NULL this is never dereferenced in reality because the function
returns earlier with "return no_overlapping_node(...)".

That's how mounting of a fully normal JFFS2 as rootfs looks like after the
patch:

Run /sbin/init as init process
jffs2: error: (1) jffs2_build_inode_fragtree: Add node to tree failed -22
jffs2: error: (1) jffs2_do_read_inode_internal: Failed to build final fragtree for inode #14: error -22

Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.
