ntfs: fix missing kstrdup() error check in ntfs_write_volume_label()
ntfs_write_volume_label() does not check the return value of kstrdup(). If the allocation fails, vol->volume_label is set to NULL while the function returns success. A subsequent FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL then returns an empty string even though the on-disk label was updated correctly. Fix by allocating the new label before taking vol_ni->mrec_lock and updating any on-disk metadata, so an -ENOMEM from kstrdup() leaves both the in-memory and on-disk labels untouched and consistent. On success the preallocated copy replaces the old vol->volume_label. Also move mark_inode_dirty_sync() into the success path so that it is not called when no metadata was actually modified.
