#syz test

    Clearing the inode pointer is necessary to ensure no memory leaks
    after txBegin fails to initialize the superblock during read only
    mode.
    - This error was found by syzkaller
    - After ialloc() is called within jfs_create(), the inode pointer
    is created but never freed when txBegin() fails.
    - The patch addresses the need to stop commiting a file 
    transaction after txBegin() fails and the clean up of pointers. 
    - The patch was tested on QEMU with the repro provided by syzbot
