[PATCH 7.2 27/82] ext4: clear error before retrying inode xattr space fallback

7.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guanghui Yang <[email protected]>

commit 409a7f12a0933ff2c617fa814c76cef0bd1d457a upstream.

When ext4_xattr_make_inode_space() returns -ENOSPC,
ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() can retry the expansion with
s_min_extra_isize.  If that retry succeeds by finding enough ibody free
space, control jumps directly to the shift label.

The previous -ENOSPC is still stored in error in that path, so the
function can update i_extra_isize but still return -ENOSPC to the
caller.  Clear error before retrying so a successful fallback expansion
returns success.

Reproduced with an ext4 image using 1 KiB blocks, project quota support,
256-byte inodes, and min_extra_isize/want_extra_isize set to 32.
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR failures dropped from 802 to 86 after the fix.
