I'd prefer a comment that reminds why we have to do this. E.g.,
something like:

	/*
	 * In-core inode reinit carries over vfs error state. Reset it
	 * so we don't leak error state from a previous generation of
	 * the inode.
	 */

... but feel free to reword that.

I also wonder whether it might be cleaner to just reset this stuff in
xfs_ifree() where we kill the i_mode and bump the gen and whatnot, but
afaict this should work too. With the comment fix, at least:
