That looks fine to me, but I wonder if there's a cleaner way, rather
than sprinkling these initializations in the code. If __udf_read_inode
fails, then it calls mark_bad_inode; maybe the code should check for
that before trying to discard prealloced blocks? I don't really know
enough about all the UDF codepaths (by far!) to know for sure what the
best solution is, here.

I do notice that for example ext2_put_inode() checks for bad_inode
before calling ext2_discard_prealloc. And it looks like the udf code
may have a little ext2 history in it :)

(hm, just realized that my original patch in this thread isn't strictly
necessary for the reasons I originally proposed; udf_clear_inode checks
for MS_RDONLY before discarding the prealloc, and my first UDF patch set
the MS_RDONLY flag on these read-only-marked filesystems... ah well)
