Not introduced by this patch, but this looks like inconsistent error
handling. The structure of the code suggests we intend to carry on in
the event of ENOENT or EINVAL, but said errors can leak out of this
function if we never get back to the formatter call (e.g., we're at the
last inode or all subsequent inodes are free).
