[PATCH 4.19 334/425] f2fs: fix a redundant call to f2fs_balance_fs if an error occurs

[ Upstream commit 28e18ee636ba28532dbe425540af06245a0bbecb ]

The uninitialized variable dn.node_changed does not get set when a
call to f2fs_get_node_page fails. This uninitialized value gets used
in the call to f2fs_balance_fs() that may or not may not balances
dirty node and dentry pages depending on the uninitialized state of
the variable. Fix this by only calling f2fs_balance_fs if err is
not set.

Thanks to Jaegeuk Kim for suggesting an appropriate fix.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 2a3407607028 ("f2fs: call f2fs_balance_fs only when node was changed")
