Subject: [097/165] ext4: fix error handling in migrate

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

commit f39490bcd1691d65dc33689222a12e1fc13dd824 upstream (as of v2.6.33-git11)

Set i_nlink to zero for temporary inode from very beginning.
otherwise we may fail to start new journal handle and this
inode will be unreferenced but with i_nlink == 1
Since we hold inode reference it can not be pruned.

Also add missed journal_start retval check.
