__ext4_find_entry currently ignores the return of ext4_find_inline_entry, except for returning the bh or NULL when has_inline_data is 1. Even though has_inline_data is set to 1 before calling ext4_find_inline_entry and would only be set to 0 when that function returns NULL, check for an encoded error return explicitly in order to exit. That makes the code more readable, not requiring that one assumes the cases when has_inline_data is 1.
