CVE-2026-72477

fs/ntfs3: call _ntfs_bad_inode() when failing to rename

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: call ntfsbad_inode() when failing to rename

It is safe to call ntfsbad_inode on live inodes since:

  commit 519b078998ce ("fs/ntfs3: Exclude call makebadinode for live nodes.")

The WARN_ON was added when it wasn't safe by:

  commit d99208b91933 ("fs/ntfs3: cancle set bad inode after removing name fails")

Replace the WARNON with a call to ntfsbadinode() to prevent further

operations on the inconsistent inode.
