[PATCH 5/7] ext3: use nofail variant of inode_setattr()

From: Dmitry Monakhov
Date: Fri Feb 19 2010 - 14:50:00 EST


After we updated i_disk_size and stop the journal it is
too late for error handling from inode_setattr().
Since inode_change_ok() is now responsible for all
necessery checks we may call __inode_setattr() which can
not fail.
