When the DS connection attempt fails, nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds marks it
for the error but then just returns the ds as if it were usable. The
comments though say:

  /* Upon return, either ds is connected, or ds is NULL */

Ensure that we set the return pointer to NULL in the event that the
connection attempt fails.
