For the first error handling, since we don't call ocfs2_journal_dirty()
yet, so won't be a problem.
For the second error handling, I think we don't have a better way. Look
at other callers of ocfs2_free_clusters(), we simply ignore the error
code.
Anyway, we should commit transaction if starts, otherwise journal will
be abnormal.

Thanks,
Joseph
