This only handles one of many similar cases in this function.  That is why
the preferred code style is to have a single exit path with labels that
handle the cleanup in reverse order from the setup.  This avoids the need
to have multiple copies of the cleanup code in each error case, and avoids
bugs where some of the cleanup steps are missed.  Something like:

	trace_ext4_truncate_enter(inode);

        if (!ext4_can_truncate(inode))
                goto out_trace;

        ext4_clear_inode_flag(inode, EXT4_INODE_EOFBLOCKS);

        if (inode->i_size == 0 && !test_opt(inode->i_sb, NO_AUTO_DA_ALLOC))
                ext4_set_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_DA_ALLOC_CLOSE);

        if (ext4_has_inline_data(inode)) {
                int has_inline = 1;

                err = ext4_inline_data_truncate(inode, &has_inline);
                if (err || has_inline)
			goto out_trace;
        }

        /* If we zero-out tail of the page, we have to create jinode for jbd2 */
        if (inode->i_size & (inode->i_sb->s_blocksize - 1)) {
                if (ext4_inode_attach_jinode(inode) < 0)
                        goto out_trace;
        }

        handle = ext4_journal_start(inode, EXT4_HT_TRUNCATE, credits);
        if (IS_ERR(handle)) {
                err = PTR_ERR(handle);
		goto out_trace;
	}

out_trace:
	trace_ext4_truncate_exit(inode);
	return err;
