Subject: [PATCH 2/6] ext3: fix up error handling for insert_inode_locked

after 250df6ed274d767da844a5d9f05720b804240197
(fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lock), insert_inode_locked()
no longer returns the inode with I_NEW set.  However, the error
handler still calls unlock_new_inode() on failure, which does a
WARN_ON if I_NEW is not set, so any failure spews a lot of
warnings.

(We also were doing dquot_drop, etc before we had initialized
the quota, that gets skipped as well)
