[PATCH v2] Corrected errno in minix_new_inode

Posted by Jori Koolstra 8 hours ago

The cases (!j || j > sbi->s_ninodes) can never occur unless the
filesystem is broken, so this should not return ENOSPC, but
EFSCORRUPTED.

Changes in v2:
 - added unnecessary variable assignment back in the spirit of
   defensive programming after feedback from Jan Kara:
