Subject: [PATCH,STABLE 2.6.29 08/18] ext4: Fix discard of inode prealloc space with delayed allocation.

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

With delayed allocation we should not/cannot discard inode prealloc
space during file close. We would still have dirty pages for which we
haven't allocated blocks yet. With this fix after each get_blocks
request we check whether we have zero reserved blocks and if yes and
we don't have any writers on the file we discard inode prealloc space.
