Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: don't ignore inode missing when replaying log tree

During log replay, at add_inode_ref(), we return -ENOENT if our current
inode isn't found on the subvolume tree or if a parent directory isn't
found. The error comes from btrfs_iget_logging() <- btrfs_iget() <-
btrfs_read_locked_inode().

The single caller of add_inode_ref(), replay_one_buffer(), ignores an
-ENOENT error because it expects that error to mean only that a parent
directory wasn't found and that is ok.

Before commit 5f61b961599a ("btrfs: fix inode lookup error handling during
log replay") we were converting any error when getting a parent directory
to -ENOENT and any error when getting the current inode to -EIO, so our
caller would fail log replay in case we can't find the current inode.
After that commit however in case the current inode is not found we return
-ENOENT to the caller and therefore it ignores the critical fact that the
current inode was not found in the subvolume tree.

Fix this by converting -ENOENT to 0 when we don't find a parent directory,
returning -ENOENT when we don't find the current inode and making the
caller, replay_one_buffer(), not ignore -ENOENT anymore.
