[BUG report] security_inode_alloc return -ENOMEM let xfs shutdown

[Jackie Liu]

Hello Maintainer and developer.

   Syzkaller report an filesystem shutdown for me, It's very easy to
trigger and also exists on the latest kernel version 5.18-rc7.

dmesg shows:

I found that it is not allowed to fail when alloc xfs_inode in
xfs_inode_alloc , but allow inode_init_always to report -ENOMEM?

inode_init_always is not failed by security_inode_alloc.

I have test the patch:

syzkaller works fine.

Does anyone help me, Any suggestion is welcome.
