Ah...without preallocation, I guess the problem still will be uncovered
when we have delayed allocation, that makes multiple block allocation
across hole possible.

I am confused, when we come here, isn't we confirmed that we need block
allocation, thus there is no extent start from b1?

How useful to have the next extent pointer?It seems only used to print
out warning messages. I am a little concerned about the expensive
ext4_ext_find_extent(). After all ext4_ext_next_allocated_block()
already returns the start block of next extent, isn't it?
