    In ocfs2_mknod_locked if '__ocfs2_mknod_locke		d' returns an error, we
    should reclaim the inode successfully claimed above, otherwise, the
    inode never be reused. The case is described below:
    
    ocfs2_mknod
        ocfs2_mknod_locked
            ocfs2_claim_new_inode
                    Successfully claim the inode
            __ocfs2_mknod_locked
                ocfs2_journal_access_di
                Failed because of -ENOMEM or other reasons, the inode
                            lockres has not been initialized yet.
    
        iput(inode)
            ocfs2_evict_inode
                ocfs2_delete_inode
                    ocfs2_inode_lock
                        ocfs2_inode_lock_full_nested
                            __ocfs2_cluster_lock
                                    Return -EINVAL because of the inode
                                    lockres has not been initialized.
    
                    So the following operations are not performed
                    ocfs2_wipe_inode
                            ocfs2_remove_inode
                                    ocfs2_free_dinode
                                            ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits
