[PATCH] fs: check pointer returned by get_fsdevice_by_path before dereferencing

In __canonicalize_path() we dereference the pointer returned by
get_fsdevice_by_path() without checking if the pointer is NULL or not.
When the pointer is NULL it leads to an Ooops.

	Ooops, address error on load or ifetch!
