From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx> Set i_nlink to zero for temporary inode from very beginning. otherwise we may fail to start new journal handle and this inode will be unreferenced but with i_nlink == 1 Since we hold inode reference it can not be pruned. Also add missed journal_start retval check.
