It is possible that unlinked inode enters ext4_setattr() (e.g. if
somebody calls ftruncate(2) on unlinked but still open file). In such
case we should not delete the inode from the orphan list if truncate
fails. Note that this is mostly a theoretical concern as filesystem is
corrupted if we reach this path anyway but let's be consistent in our
orphan handling.

NIT: While ext4_orphan_del() can be called even if the inode was not on the
orphan list it kind of tripped me up to see this called even if
ext4_orphan_add() fails...

But considering how ext4_orphan_del() works:

Yes, calling ext4_orphan_del() twice is harmless. You're right we just
shouldn't set 'orphan = 1' if ext4_orphan_add() fails but that's
independent cleanup we could do. Thanks for your review!
