[PATCH 3.11 212/272] GFS2: d_splice_alias() can't return error

[Luis Henriques]

3.11.10.1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

commit 0d0d110720d7960b77c03c9f2597faaff4b484ae upstream.

unless it was given an IS_ERR(inode), which isn't the case here.  So clean
up the unnecessary error handling in gfs2_create_inode().

This paves the way for real fixes (hence the stable Cc).
