This one is a new regression, and a first attempt at bisect was
inconclusive.
Bisect fingered the commit below. I confirmed that reverting that
commit on top of stable-rc/linux-4.10.y gets this am335x-pepper
platform booting again. What's rather strange is that this boot test
is using a .cpio.gz initramfs, and not using any ext4 filesystem.
Does that even make sense ? Just wondering, after the problems we are currently
experiencing with nios2. Those "bisected" as well to a commit associated with
code which never executed. It turned out that the change in code size caused
completely unrelated memory overwrites to be observed. Reverting the patch in
question also seemed to "fix" the problem. Only, of course, that wasn't true.
Maybe something similar is happening here ?

ext4: fix inline data error paths
commit eb5efbcb762aee4b454b04f7115f73ccbcf8f0ef upstream.
The write_end() function must always unlock the page and drop its ref
count, even on an error.
