ext4: Fix double-free of blocks with EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT

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

ext4_move_extent() calls ext4_discard_preallocations() to discard inode PAs
of orig and donor inodes in its beginning.
But the following case (1-4 steps) triggers the double-free of blocks,
so move ext4_discard_preallocations() to the end of ext4_move_extents().

1. Discard inode PAs of orig and donor inodes with ext4_discard_preallocations()
   in ext4_move_extents().

   orig : [ DATA1 ]
   donor: [ DATA2 ]

2. While data blocks are exchanging between orig and donor inodes,
   new inode PAs is created to orig by other process's block allocation.
   (Since there are semaphore gaps in ext4_move_extents().)
   And new inode PAs is used partially (2-1).

   2-1 Create new inode PAs to orig inode
   orig : [ DATA1 | used PA1 | free PA1 ]
   donor: [ DATA2 ]

3. Donor inode which has old orig inode's blocks is deleted
   after EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished (3-1, 3-2).
   So the block bitmap corresponds to old orig inode's blocks are freed.

   3-1 After EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT finished
   orig : [ DATA2 |  free PA1 ]
   donor: [ DATA1 |  used PA1 ]

   3-2 Delete donor inode
   orig : [ DATA2 |  free PA1 ]
   donor: [ FREE SPACE(DATA1) | FREE SPACE(used PA1) ]

4. The double-free of blocks is occurred, when close() is called to orig inode.
   Because ext4_discard_preallocations() for orig inode frees used PA1 and free PA1,
   though used PA1 is already freed in 3.

   4-1 Double-free of blocks is occurred
   orig : [ DATA2 |  FREE SPACE(free PA1) ]
   donor: [ FREE SPACE(DATA1) | DOUBLE FREE(used PA1) ]
