[Devel] [PATCH 1/1] cr: fix ckpt_obj_fetch return values (v2)

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Sorry for the noise, but here is a corrected version of my patch
from earlier today.

ckpt_obj_fetch returned ERR_PTR(error) on some failures, NULL on
others.  Not all of its callers were checking for NULL, which
would lead to NULL dereferences.

Return -EINVAL if the object is not in the hash table.  Fix up
pipe_file_restore to do the right thing.

Changelog: May 13: fix typo in ckpt_obj_fetch.
