Subject[019/114] nilfs2: fix list corruption after ifile creation failure
2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

commit af4e36318edb848fcc0a8d5f75000ca00cdc7595 upstream.

If nilfs_attach_checkpoint() gets a memory allocation failure during
creation of ifile, it will return without removing nilfs_sb_info
struct from ns_supers list. When a concurrently mounted snapshot is
unmounted or another new snapshot is mounted after that, this causes
kernel oops as below:

> *pde = 00000000
> Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP

This fixes the problem.
