Commit d12af460df27 ("nfsd: fix BUG_ON in nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid on
racing delegation revoke") replaced BUG_ON(!ls->ls_file) with a bail-out
that calls nfs4_put_stid() on the partially initialized layout stateid.

nfs4_alloc_stid() leaves sc_count at 1 and nothing takes another
reference before that bail-out, so the put runs sc_free, which is
nfsd4_free_layout_stateid().  That function uses ls->ls_file
unconditionally, both for vfs_setlease() and for nfsd_file_put(), and
nfsd_file_put() does not accept NULL either.  The new error path thus
turns the race it was meant to handle gracefully into a NULL pointer
dereference.  The nfsd4_layout_setlease() failure path that already
called nfs4_put_stid() was safe only because the BUG_ON guaranteed
ls_file was non-NULL.

Upstream does not have this problem because its destructor goes through
nfsd4_close_layout(), which tests the pointer before using it.  That
helper came in with the admin-revoke series, which is not in 6.6, so
just add the NULL test here.
