[PATCH v3] bcachefs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bch2_opt_to_text

[Mohammed Anees]

This patch adds a bounds check to the bch2_opt_to_text function to prevent
NULL pointer dereferences when accessing the opt->choices array. This
ensures that the index used is within valid bounds before dereferencing.
The new version enhances the readability.
