UDF possible NULL pointer usage

Hi Ben,

you know the udf_fill_inode() in inode.c does not
check if memory allocation failed:

UDF_I_DATA(inode) = kmalloc(inode->i_sb->s_blocksize -
sizeof(struct extendedFileEntry), GFP_KERNEL);

so the question I have is - what kind of handler there
should be: just exit out from the function or mark
the inode as bad?
