From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> sc->ip is the inode that's being scrubbed, which means that it's not set for scrub types that don't involve inodes. If one of those scrubbers (e.g. inode btrees) returns EDEADLOCK, we'll trip over the null pointer. Fix that by reporting either the file being examined or the file that was used to call scrub.
Without an indication of which one we trace this is a little weird, isn't it? Still better than a crash, though..
