[62/90] ext4: plug a buffer_head leak in an error path of ext4_iget()

[Greg KH]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
(cherry picked from commit 567f3e9a70d71e5c9be03701b8578be77857293b)

One of the invalid error paths in ext4_iget() forgot to brelse() the
inode buffer head.  Fix it by adding a brelse() in the common error
return path, which also simplifies function.

Thanks to Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> reporting the problem.
