Subject: [PATCH]ext4: fix s_dirty_blocks_counter if block allocation failed
 with nodelalloc

ext4: Fix s_dirty_blocks_counter if block allocation failed with nodelalloc

From: Akira Fujita <a-fujita@...jp.nec.com>

If block allocation failed after marking claimed blocks as dirty blocks
with nodelalloc, we have to subtract these blocks from
s_dirty_blocks_counter in error handling.
Otherwise s_dirty_blocks_counter goes wrong so that
filesystem's free blocks decreases incorrectly.

This issue was reported as ext4 online defrag's bug by Li Zefan.
