We've been seeing the following panic in production

Inspecting the core with drgn I was able to pull this
>>> prog.crashed_thread().stack_trace()[0]
#0 at 0xffffffffa079657a (ff_layout_cancel_io+0x3a/0x84) in ff_layout_cancel_io at fs/nfs/flexfilelayout/flexfilelayout.c:2021:27
>>> prog.crashed_thread().stack_trace()[0]['idx']
(u32)1
>>> prog.crashed_thread().stack_trace()[0]['flseg'].mirror_array[1].mirror_ds
(struct nfs4_ff_layout_ds *)0xffffffffffffffed
This is clear from the stack trace, we call nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds()
which could error out initializing the mirror_ds, and then we go to
clean it all up and our check is only for if (!mirror->mirror_ds). This
is inconsistent with the rest of the users of mirror_ds, which have
if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(mirror_ds))
to keep from tripping over this exact scenario. Fix this up in
ff_layout_cancel_io() to make sure we don't panic when we get an error.
I also spot checked all the other instances of checking mirror_ds and we
appear to be doing the correct checks everywhere, only unconditionally
dereferencing mirror_ds when we know it would be valid.
