[PATCH 06/11] gfs2: d_splice_alias() cant return error

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

unless it was given an IS_ERR(inode), which isn't the case here.  So clean
up the unnecessary error handling in gfs2_create_inode().

This paves the way for real fixes (hence the stable Cc).
