We don't want open-by-handle picking half-set-up in-core struct inode from e.g. mkdir() having failed halfway through. In other words, we don't want such inodes returned by iget_locked() on their way to extinction. However, we can't just have them unhashed - otherwise open-by-handle immediately *after* that would've ended up creating a new in-core inode over the on-disk one that is in process of being freed right under us. Solution: new flag (I_CREATING) set by insert_inode_locked() and removed by unlock_new_inode() and a new primitive (discard_new_inode()) to be used by such halfway-through-setup failure exits instead of unlock_new_inode() / iput() combinations. That primitive unlocks new inode, but leaves I_CREATING in place. iget_locked() treats finding an I_CREATING inode as failure (-ESTALE, once we sort out the error propagation). insert_inode_locked() treats the same as instant -EBUSY. ilookup() treats those as icache miss.
