xfs: fix double free of inode

If we fail to initialise the VFS inode in inode_init_always(),
it will call ->delete_inode internally resulting in the inode being
freed. Hence we need to delay the call to inode_init_always()
until after the XFS inode is sufficient set up to handle a
call to ->delete_inode, and then if that fails do not touch
the inode again at all as it has been freed.
