Subject: [PATCH 28/29] GFS2: Fix uninitialized VFS inode in gfs2_create_inode

From: Abhi Das <adas@...hat.com>

When gfs2_create_inode() fails due to quota violation, the VFS
inode is not completely uninitialized. This can cause a list
corruption error.

This patch correctly uninitializes the VFS inode when a quota
violation occurs in the gfs2_create_inode codepath.

Resolves: rhbz#1059808
