[PATCH]: reiserfs: E-pathrelse.patch

Hello, Linus,

This patch adds missing call to pathrelse() to error path in
reiserfs_do_truncate(). Without pathrelse(), buffers involved
into balancing by some process remain locked and can deadlock
another process.

This patch is against 2.4.10-pre2.
Please apply.

Nikita.
