ext4: More buffer head reference leaks
After the patch I posted last week regarding buffer head ref leaks in
no-journal mode, I looked at all the code that uses buffer heads and
searched for more potential leaks.

The patch below fixes the issues I found; these can occur even when a
journal is present.

The change to inode.c fixes a double release if
ext4_journal_get_create_access() fails.

The changes to namei.c are more complicated.  add_dirent_to_buf() will
release the input buffer head EXCEPT when it returns -ENOSPC.  There are
some callers of this routine that don't always do the brelse() in the event
that -ENOSPC is returned.  Unfortunately, to put this fix into ext4_add_entry()
required capturing the return value of make_indexed_dir() and
add_dirent_to_buf().
