Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: only call unlock_new_inode() if I_NEW

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

unlock_new_inode() is only meant to be called after a new inode has
already been inserted into the hash table.  But reiserfs_new_inode() can
call it even before it has inserted the inode, triggering the WARNING in
unlock_new_inode().  Fix this by only calling unlock_new_inode() if the
inode has the I_NEW flag set, indicating that it's in the table.

This addresses the syzbot report "WARNING in unlock_new_inode"
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=187510916eb6a14598f7).
