ext4: return error on ext4_find_inline_entry
[ Upstream commit 4d231b91a944f3cab355fce65af5871fb5d7735b ]
In case of errors when reading an inode from disk or traversing inline
directory entries, return an error-encoded ERR_PTR instead of returning
NULL. ext4_find_inline_entry only caller, __ext4_find_entry already returns
such encoded errors.
