When directory hierarchy is corrupted and contains cycles, d_splice_alias() can
fail. Handle the failure cleanly.

Identical/coppied from:
	ext2: Handle error from d_splice_alias()
	Signed-off-by: Jan Kara [off-list ref]

[exofs is just yet another copy/paste of ext2 code]

Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <redacted>

Please carry in your tree, since it's dependent on
[patch 1/4]

Thanks
Boaz
