An HFS+ filesystem can be mounted read-only without having a metadata
directory, which is needed to support hardlinks. But if the catalog data
is corrupted, a directory lookup may still find dentries claiming to be
hardlinks.

hfsplus_lookup() does check that ->hidden_dir is not NULL in such a
situation, but mistakenly does so after dereferencing it for the first
time. Reorder this check to prevent a crash.
