I ran into the same issue today, but when listing a directory with
invalid/corrupt entries:

udf_lookup
        udf_iget
                get_new_inode_fast
                        alloc_inode
                                udf_alloc_inode
                __udf_read_inode
                        fails for any reason
                iput (on error)
                        ...

The following patch to udf_alloc_inode() should take care of both (and
other similar) cases, but I've only tested it with udf_lookup().
