Subject: [PATCH 5.4 56/60] ext4: fix potential error in ext4_do_update_inode

From: Shijie Luo <luoshijie1@...wei.com>

commit 7d8bd3c76da1d94b85e6c9b7007e20e980bfcfe6 upstream.

If set_large_file = 1 and errors occur in ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(),
the error code will be overridden, go to out_brelse to avoid this
situation.
