ROMFS: Fix up an error in iget removal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful
call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously
the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case):

 (1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the
     need for specific negative-inode handling.  This means the positive
     success handling now flows straight through.

 (2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean.

Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid
32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends.

Based upon a report and patch from Adam Richter.
