Before this patch, function gfs2_dinode_dealloc would abort if it got a bad return code from gfs2_rindex_update(). The problem is that it left the dinode in the unlinked (not free) state, which meant subsequent fsck would clean it up and flag an error. That meant some of our QE tests would fail. The sole purpose of gfs2_rindex_update(), in this code path, is to read in any newer rgrps added by gfs2_grow. But since this is a delete operation it won't actually use any of those new rgrps. It can really only twiddle the bits from "Unlinked" to "Free" in an existing rgrp. Therefore the error should not prevent the transition from unlinked to free. This patch makes gfs2_dinode_dealloc ignore the bad return code and proceed with freeing the dinode so the QE tests will not be tripped up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
