It was possible for mount to fail but not set grub_errno. This led to a possible double decrement of the module reference count if the NULL page was mapped. Fixing in general as a similar bug was fixed in commit 61b13c187 (fs/hfsplus: Set grub_errno to prevent NULL pointer access) and there are likely more variants around.
