Subject: [PATCH] udf: propagate iteration error from udf_expand_dir_adinicb()
udf_expand_dir_adinicb() returns 0 unconditionally after iterating
directory entries, even when the iteration fails. The WARN_ON_ONCE(ret)
fires on corrupted filesystems but the error is discarded.
Remove the WARN_ON_ONCE and propagate the error return value to
the caller.
