ntfs_index_walk_down() allocates ictx->ib when descending from the root into an index allocation block. If that allocation fails, the old code still passes the NULL buffer to ntfs_ib_read(), which can write through it via ntfs_inode_attr_pread(). Allocate the index block into a temporary pointer and return -ENOMEM before changing the index context on allocation failure. Also propagate ERR_PTR() through ntfs_index_next() and ntfs_readdir() so walk-down allocation or index block read failures are not mistaken for normal index iteration inside the filesystem. ntfs_readdir() keeps the existing userspace-visible behavior of suppressing readdir errors after marking end_in_iterate; this change only prevents the walk-down failure path from dereferencing NULL internally. The failure was reproduced with failslab fail-nth injection on getdents64; the original module hits a NULL pointer dereference in memcpy_orig through ntfs_ib_read(), while the patched module reaches the same ntfs_index_walk_down() allocation failure without crashing.
