commit 5bdd0c6f89fba430e18d636493398389dadc3b17 upstream.
If jffs2_iget() fails for a newly-allocated inode, jffs2_do_clear_inode() can get called twice in the error handling path, the first call in jffs2_iget() itself and the second through iget_failed(). This can result to a use-after-free error in the second jffs2_do_clear_inode() call, such as shown by the oops below wherein the second jffs2_do_clear_inode() call was trying to free node fragments that were already freed in the first jffs2_do_clear_inode() call.

The jffs2_do_clear_inode() call in jffs2_iget() is unnecessary since iget_failed() will eventually call jffs2_do_clear_inode() if needed, so just remove it.
