Subject: [PATCH 3.16 035/305] ext4: clean up error handling when orphan
 list is corrupted

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>

commit 7827a7f6ebfcb7f388dc47fddd48567a314701ba upstream.

Instead of just printing warning messages, if the orphan list is
corrupted, declare the file system is corrupted.  If there are any
reserved inodes in the orphaned inode list, declare the file system
corrupted and stop right away to avoid doing more potential damage to
the file system.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: leave error code as EIO]
