My apologies. I didn't catch the fact that the function had moved
to super.c and become static. Here's a replacement that compiles.
Unless you want me to move the function back to inode.c since it's
not static anymore?

GFS2: fsck.gfs2 finds unlinked inodes on full file systems

In some cases, when a GFS2 file system was nearly full, GFS2
was able to allocate a block for a new file's dinode but not
a second block for linking that new dinode to a directory.
In these cases, GFS2 was not properly deallocating the partially-
created file. Thus, subsequent runs of fsck.gfs2 found unlinked
files. This patch adds a an extra cleanup path to the dinode
create function to properly deallocate the partially-created file.
