[PATCH 5/9] xfs: reinitialise recycled VFS inode correctly

[Dave Chinner <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now that we keep certain on-disk information in the VFS inode rather
than in a separate XFS specific stucture, we have to be careful of
the VFS code clearing that information when we re-initialise
reclaimable cached inodes during lookup. If we don't do this, then
we lose critical information from the inode and that results in
corruption being detected.
