[PATCH] ext4: clear error before retrying inode xattr space fallback

[Guanghui Yang]

When ext4_xattr_make_inode_space() returns -ENOSPC,
ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() can retry the expansion with
s_min_extra_isize.  If that retry succeeds by finding enough ibody free
space, control jumps directly to the shift label.

The previous -ENOSPC is still stored in error in that path, so the
function can update i_extra_isize but still return -ENOSPC to the
caller.  Clear error before retrying so a successful fallback expansion
returns success.

Reproduced with an ext4 image using 1 KiB blocks, project quota support,
256-byte inodes, and min_extra_isize/want_extra_isize set to 32.
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR failures dropped from 802 to 86 after the fix.
