Subject: [PATCH] ext4: BUG_ON could be triggered in ext4_mb_normalize_request()

From: Jing Zhang <zj.barak@...il.com>

Date: Wed Apr 7 21:34:48     2010

BUG_ON at [line: 2912] could be triggered,
     if (pa->pa_deleted == 0 && pa->pa_free == 0)
as checked at [line: 3111] and [line: 3122].

It is bypassed by adding check for pa_free.
