[PATCH] minix_clear_inode fix
The patch below fixes two flaws in minix_clear_inode. The first is that it tests bh which is never initialized. (&bh is a parameter of minix_V1_raw_inode, but that routine can fail and return before it has set bh) The second is that generic_delete_inode() goes BUG() in case inode->i_state != I_CLEAR. Clearly, it is expected that inode->i_sb->s_op->delete_inode does a clear_inode() at some point. But minix_delete_inode() calls minix_free_inode() and that routine can print an error and return early, before calling clear_inode().
