Subject: [patch 2/4] ext4: fix error processing in mb_free_blocks

From: Shen Feng <shen@...fujitsu.com>

The error processing of the return value of mb_free_blocks is meanless
because it only returns 0.  This fix includes

- make mb_free_blocks return void

- remove the error processing part in callers

- unlock group before calling ext4_error in mb_free_blocks
