[PATCH] fs/ntfs3: Fix error handling in ntfs_new_inode()

[Shigeru Yoshida]

When memory allocation for mi->mrec fails, ntfs_new_inode() calls
iput().  iput() calls ni_write_inode() indirectly, it references
uninitialized mi->mrec, and this causes the kernel crash.  This patch
fixes the issue by making the inode bad before calling iput().

I've missed the fix you mentioned.
Thank you so much for your reply!
