fix debugfs inode leak
Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
