This bug was introduced in ead43fe4f2 ("MEDIUM: compression: Make it so
we can compress requests as well.")
2 cases where not properly handled, resulting in 2 possible NULL
dereferences leading to crashes in the function at runtime:
- when the backend didn't define any compression options so its comp
pointer is NULL (ie: if only the frontend defines some comp options)
- when both the frontend and the backend didn't set a compression algo
but at least one of the two defined some other comp options (comp
pointer set)
For the first case, we added the missing checks to make sure we don't
read ->comp pointer if it is NULL.
For the second case, we properly return from the function if no
compression algo is defined, because there is no default value that could
be used as a fallback.
This should be backported to 2.8.
