In ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry(), there is an if statement on line 2136 to
check whether loc->xl_entry is NULL:
    if (loc->xl_entry)

When loc->xl_entry is NULL, it is used on line 2158:
    ocfs2_xa_add_entry(loc, name_hash);
        loc->xl_entry->xe_name_hash = cpu_to_le32(name_hash);
        loc->xl_entry->xe_name_offset = cpu_to_le16(loc->xl_size);
and line 2164:
	ocfs2_xa_add_namevalue(loc, xi);
        loc->xl_entry->xe_value_size = cpu_to_le64(xi->xi_value_len);
        loc->xl_entry->xe_name_len = xi->xi_name_len;

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, if loc-xl_entry is NULL, ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry() 
abnormally returns with -EINVAL.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

Since entry not found, so there is nothing to do in
ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry(). We may change it like:

if (!loc->xl_entry) {
	rc = -EINVAL;
	goto out;
}	

if (ocfs2_xa_can_reuse_entry(loc, xi)) {
	......
}
.....
