xfs: fix double free of inode
If we fail to initialise the VFS inode in inode_init_always(), it will call ->delete_inode internally resulting in the inode being freed. Hence we need to delay the call to inode_init_always() until after the XFS inode is sufficient set up to handle a call to ->delete_inode, and then if that fails do not touch the inode again at all as it has been freed.
