Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix wrong return err in ext4_load_and_init_journal()

The return value is wrong in ext4_load_and_init_journal(). The local
variable 'err' need to be initialized before goto out. The original code
in __ext4_fill_super() is fine because it has two return values 'ret'
and 'err' and 'ret' is initialized as -EINVAL. After we factor out
ext4_load_and_init_journal(), this code is broken. So fix it by directly
returning -EINVAL in the error handler path.

Fixes: 9c1dd22d7422 (ext4: factor out ext4_load_and_init_journal())
