squashfs: fix invalid pointer dereference in squashfs_cache_delete

When mounting a squashfs fails, squashfs_cache_init() may return an error
pointer (e.g., -ENOMEM) instead of NULL.  However, squashfs_cache_delete()
only checks for a NULL cache, and attempts to dereference the invalid
pointer.  This leads to a kernel crash (BUG: unable to handle kernel
paging request in squashfs_cache_delete).

This patch fixes the issue by checking IS_ERR(cache) before accessing it.
