OpenFile and openFileViaInode panic with a nil pointer dereference when called on character device, block device, FIFO, or socket inodes. These inode types store device major/minor numbers instead of an extent tree, so inode.extents is nil and the call to inode.extents.blocks() crashes. Add a nil guard that returns a descriptive error before accessing the extent tree. Signed-off-by: Paweł Gronowski <pawel.gronowski@docker.com>
