Prasad Joshi f06328d772 logfs: fix "Kernel BUG at readwrite.c:1193"
This happens when __logfs_create() tries to write a new inode to the disk
which is full.

__logfs_create() associates the transaction pointer with inode.  During
the logfs_write_inode() function call chain this transaction pointer is
moved from inode to page->private using function move_inode_to_page
(do_write_inode() -> inode_to_page() -> move_inode_to_page)

When the write inode fails, the transaction is aborted and iput is called
on the failed inode.  During delete_inode the same transaction pointer
associated with the page is getting used.  Thus causing kernel BUG.

The patch checks for error in write_inode() and restores the page->private
to NULL.
