wrong memory access in i2o_block_device_lock() This patch fixes access to memory that has not been allocated: i2o_msg_get_wait() can returns errors different from I2O_QUEUE_EMPTY. But the result is checked only against this code. If it is not I2O_QUEUE_EMPTY then we dereference the error code as the pointer later.
