Here I'm sending a patch for it.

From: Mikulas Patocka <[email protected]>

The function try_alloc_bucket sets the variable "iter" to NULL and then
(on various error conditions) jumps to the label "err". On the "err"
label, it calls "set_btree_iter_dontneed" that tries to dereference
"iter->trans" and "iter->path".

So, we get an oops on error condition.

This patch fixes the crash by testing that iter.trans and iter.path is
non-zero before calling set_btree_iter_dontneed.
