It seems that your opinion is correct. remove_dirty_dir_inode() will not clean up the 
dir_inode_entry because make_bad_inode() sets i_mode to S_IFREG in the fail path of
init_inode_metadata, and it leads to the following "memory leak".

BTW, have you tested the case that added remove_dirty_dir_inode() into the fail path
of init_inode_metadata?
