From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit bc87302a093f0eab45cd4e250c2021299f712ec6 upstream. When get an error in the middle of reading an inode, some fields in the inode might be still not initialized. And then the evict_inode path may access those fields via iput(). To fix, this makes sure that inode fields are initialized.
