From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> unlock_new_inode() is only meant to be called after a new inode has already been inserted into the hash table. But nilfs_new_inode() can call it even before it has inserted the inode, triggering the WARNING in unlock_new_inode(). Fix this by only calling unlock_new_inode() if the inode has the I_NEW flag set, indicating that it's in the table.
