=====================================================
Now, 'ext4_alloc_inode()' didn't init 'ei->i_flags'. If new inode failed
before set 'ei->i_flags' in '__ext4_new_inode()', then do 'iput()'. As after
6bc0d63dad7f commit will access 'ei->i_flags' in 'ext4_evict_inode()' which
will lead to access uninit-value.
To solve above issue just init 'ei->i_flags' in 'ext4_alloc_inode()'.
