Admittedly I wondered if we can leak memory that way, but AFAICT a new
inode shouldn't really have if_bytes > 0, right?

Funny you mention it, but I've been quietly refactoring the xfs_inode.c
code into libxfs as part of preparing for the metadata directory
feature, which has enabled me to cut a considerable amount of opencoded
crap out of mkfs and repair. Granted, I still have to make sure it all
/works/, but ... yes this all should be using libxfs functions. :)
Uh, I'll give this patch a spin and see what happens.
