[PATCH] Fix uninitialized variable in ext4_inlinedir_to_tree

From: Xiaxi Shen
Date: Tue Apr 30 2024 - 23:30:44 EST


Syzbot has found an uninit-value bug in ext4_inlinedir_to_tree

This error happens because ext4_inlinedir_to_tree does not
handle the case when ext4fs_dirhash returns an error

This can be avoided by checking the return value of ext4fs_dirhash
and propagating the error,
similar to how it's done with ext4_htree_store_dirent
