The ploop_add_delta() function calls file_clone_open() to create multiple
file handles, but only checks for NULL return values. However,
file_clone_open() can return ERR_PTR() on failure, which gets stored as
a corrupted file pointer in deltas[level].mtfile[i].
Later, during cleanup in ploop_put_delta(), fput() is called on these
corrupted pointers , causing the kernel to attempt accessing invalid 
memory addresses resulting in NULL pointer dereference crashes.
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000034

Fix by:
1. Using IS_ERR() to properly detect error pointers from file_clone_open()
2. Adding IS_ERR() checks in ploop_put_delta() to prevent cleanup crashes
3. Setting failed mtfile entries to NULL to avoid double-free issues
