xfs: fix possible NULL dereference in xlog_verify_iclog
In xlog_verify_iclog a debug check of the incore log buffers prints an error if icptr is null and then goes on to dereference the pointer regardless. Convert this to an assert so that the intention is clear. This was reported by Coverty. Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>
