commit ee0ed02ca93ef1ecf8963ad96638795d55af2c14 upstream.
It is possible that unlinked inode enters ext4_setattr() (e.g. if somebody calls ftruncate(2) on unlinked but still open file). In such case we should not delete the inode from the orphan list if truncate fails. Note that this is mostly a theoretical concern as filesystem is corrupted if we reach this path anyway but let's be consistent in our orphan handling.
