Subject: [PATCH] ext4: avoid bb_free and bb_fragments inconsistency in
mb_free_blocks()

After updating bb_free in mb_free_blocks, it is possible to return without updating bb_fragments because the block being freed is found to have already been freed, which leads to inconsistency between bb_free and bb_fragments.

Since the group may be unlocked in ext4_grp_locked_error(), this can lead to problems such as dividing by zero when calculating the average fragment length. Hence move the update of bb_free to after the block double-free check guarantees that the corresponding statistics are updated only after the core block bitmap is modified.

Fixes eabe0444df90 ("ext4: speed-up releasing blocks on commit")
