Jann Horn b10298d56c reiserfs: propagate errors from fill_with_dentries() properly
fill_with_dentries() failed to propagate errors up to
reiserfs_for_each_xattr() properly.  Plumb them through.

Note that reiserfs_for_each_xattr() is only used by
reiserfs_delete_xattrs() and reiserfs_chown_xattrs().  The result of
reiserfs_delete_xattrs() is discarded anyway, the only difference there is
whether a warning is printed to dmesg.  The result of
reiserfs_chown_xattrs() does matter because it can block chowning of the
file to which the xattrs belong; but either way, the resulting state can
have misaligned ownership, so my patch doesn't improve things greatly.

Credit for making me look at this code goes to Al Viro, who pointed out
that the ->actor calling convention is suboptimal and should be changed.

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.
