[PATCH] fs/jffs2: Fix NULL deref in jffs2_scan_dirty_space

As was mentioned in 2ebf09c2, it is possible to get oops,
when marking space dirty in scan, but no previous node exists

It still can be in jffs2_link_node_ref() via deref jeb->last_node.
Since all jffs2_scan_dirty_space() callers check value of a
function, we can return error code safely.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
