Ummm...  Does this handle the errors correctly?  What happens if rc != 0 at
this point and the inode has been marked failed?  It looks like it will
abandon creation of the superblock without cleaning up the super cookie.
Maybe - or maybe it can't happen because of the:

	iget_no_retry:
		if (!inode) {
			inode = ERR_PTR(rc);
			goto out;
		}

check - but then why is rc being checked?
