[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: fix error handling in ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents()

[Jeff Liu]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

Smatch complains that if we hit an error (for example if the file is
immutable) then "range" has uninitialized stack data and we copy it to
the user.

I've re-written the error handling to avoid this problem and make it a
little cleaner as well.

v2: check for argp earlier

I've added your signed-off-by to these patches - it should have been
included because you were on the patch delivery path.
