ext4: fix missing iput of root inode for some mount error paths
This assures that the root inode is not leaked, and that sb->s_root is NULL, which will prevent generic_shutdown_super() from doing extra work, including call sync_filesystem, which ultimately results in ext4_sync_fs() getting called with an uninitialized struct super, which is the cause of the crash noted in Kernel Bugzilla #26752. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26752 Signed-off-by: Manish Katiyar <mkatiyar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
