Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: discard prealloc in reiserfs_delete_inode

 With the removal of struct file from the xattr code, reiserfs_file_release()
 isn't used anymore, so the prealloc isn't discarded. This causes hangs
 later down the line.

 This patch adds it to reiserfs_delete_inode. In most cases it will be
 a no-op due to it already having been called, but will avoid hangs with xattrs.
