If xfs_trans_reserve() fails, xfs_setattr_nonsize() does not deallocate
the transaction and does not release "freeze" lock. That leads to the
[ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
------------------------------------------------
fs-driver-tests/7127 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
#0: (sb_internal){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffffa0389a44>] xfs_trans_alloc+0x24/0x40 [xfs]
The patch adds xfs_trans_cancel() on the failure path.
