Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_orphan_cleanup

I caught a issue as follows:
==================================================================

==================================================================

Above issue may happen as follows:
-------------------------------------
ext4_fill_super
  ext4_orphan_cleanup
   --- loop1: assume last_orphan is 12 ---
    list_add(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_orphan, &EXT4_SB(sb)->s_orphan)
    ext4_truncate --> return 0
      ext4_inode_attach_jinode --> return -ENOMEM
    iput(inode) --> free inode<12>
   --- loop2: last_orphan is still 12 ---
    list_add(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_orphan, &EXT4_SB(sb)->s_orphan);
    // use inode<12> and trigger UAF

To solve this issue, we need to propagate the return value of
ext4_inode_attach_jinode() appropriately.
