Subject: ext4: bail out of ext4_xattr_ibody_get() fails for any reason
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
commit 2a534e1d0d1591e951f9ece2fb460b2ff92edabd upstream.
In ext4_update_inline_data(), if ext4_xattr_ibody_get() fails for any
reason, it's best if we just fail as opposed to stumbling on,
especially if the failure is EFSCORRUPTED.
