Syzkaller is able to provoke null-ptr-dereference in ocfs2_xa_remove():

Reproducer uses faultinject facility to fail ocfs2_xa_remove() -> ocfs2_xa_value_truncate() with -ENOMEM.
In this case the comment mentions that we can return 0 if ocfs2_xa_cleanup_value_truncate() is going to wipe the entry anyway. But the following 'rc' check is wrong and execution flow do 'ocfs2_xa_remove_entry(loc);' twice: * 1st: in ocfs2_xa_cleanup_value_truncate(); * 2nd: returning back to ocfs2_xa_remove() instead of going to 'out'.
Fix this by skipping the 2nd removal of the same entry and making syzkaller repro happy.
