When mounting a squashfs fails, squashfs_cache_init() may return an error pointer (e.g., -ENOMEM) instead of NULL. However, squashfs_cache_delete() only checks for a NULL cache, and attempts to dereference the invalid pointer. This leads to a kernel crash (BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request in squashfs_cache_delete). This patch fixes the issue by checking IS_ERR(cache) before accessing it.
