Subject: [PATCH] fs/ecryptfs/inode.c warnings

Warnings popped up in fs/ecryptfs/inode.c with 2.6.39-rc6

fs/ecryptfs/inode.c: In function 'ecryptfs_do_create':
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:72: warning: 'dentry_save' may be used
uninitialized in this function
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:72: note: 'dentry_save' was declared here
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:73: warning: 'vfsmount_save' may be used
uninitialized in this function
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:73: note: 'vfsmount_save' was declared here
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:74: warning: 'flags_save' may be used
uninitialized in this function
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:74: note: 'flags_save' was declared here

patch sets rc to error and removes the need for two if statements.
