Subject: [PATCH] Fix uninitialized variable in ext4_inlinedir_to_tree

Syzbot has found an uninit-value bug in ext4_inlinedir_to_tree

This error happens because ext4_inlinedir_to_tree does not
handle the case when ext4fs_dirhash returns an error

This can be avoided by checking the return value of ext4fs_dirhash 
and propagating the error,
similar to how it's done with ext4_htree_store_dirent
