[PATCH] hpfs: new/read/write_inode() cleanups
1) common initialization for all paths in hpfs_read_inode() taken into a separate helper (hpfs_init_inode()) 2) hpfs mkdir(),create(),mknod() and symlink() do not bother with iget() anymore - they call new_inode(), do initializations and insert new inode into icache. Handling of OOM failures cleaned up - if we can't allocate in-core inode, bail instead of corrupting the filesystem. Allocating in-core inode early also avoids one of the deadlocks here (hpfs_write_inode() from memory pressure by kmem_cache_alloc() could deadlock on attempt to lock our directory). 3) hpfs_write_inode() marks the inode dirty again in case if it fails to iget() its parent directory. Again, OOM could trigger fs corruption here.
