Subject: [PATCH 5.4 025/348] ext4: cleanup in-core orphan list if ext4_truncate() failed to get a transaction handle

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

commit b9a037b7f3c401d3c63e0423e56aef606b1ffaaf upstream.

In ext4_orphan_cleanup(), if ext4_truncate() failed to get a transaction
handle, it didn't remove the inode from the in-core orphan list, which
may probably trigger below error dump in ext4_destroy_inode() during the
final iput() and could lead to memory corruption on the later orphan
list changes.

 EXT4-fs (sda): Inode 6291467 (00000000b8247c67): orphan list check failed!
 00000000b8247c67: 0001f30a 00000004 00000000 00000023  ............#...

This patch fix this by cleanup in-core orphan list manually if
ext4_truncate() return error.
