iget: introduce a function to register iget failure

Browse Source 
Introduce a function to register failure in an inode construction path.  This
includes marking the inode under construction as bad, unlocking it and
releasing it.

test and set for you.
e.g.
inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
if (inode->i_state & I_NEW) {
read_inode_from_disk(inode);
unlock_new_inode(inode);
}
inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);

err = read_inode_from_disk(inode);
if (err < 0) {
iget_failed(inode);
return err;
}
unlock_new_inode(inode);
}
Note that if the process of setting up a new inode fails, then iget_failed()
should be called on the inode to render it dead, and an appropriate error
should be passed back to the caller.
