Never mind. I took a closer look and realized that
ext4_mb_free_blocks is already breaking up extents that span multiple
block groups.
So the only thing we need is the change to avoid merging freed extents
that cross block groups, per my patch. I've updated the patch queue
with such a fix so I can better test things out.
Aneesh, can you look and see if this makes sense?

ext4: Use an rbtree for tracking blocks freed during transaction.
From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
With this patch we track the block freed during a transaction using
rb tree. We also make sure contiguous blocks freed are collected
in one rb node.
