Inside jffs2_new_inode() there is a small gap when jffs2_init_acl_pre() or jffs2_do_new_inode() may fail e.g. due to a memory allocation error while uninit inocache field is touched upon subsequent inode eviction.

Initialize the inocache pointer to a NULL value while preparing an inode in jffs2_init_inode_info(). jffs2_xattr_delete_inode() will handle it later just fine.
