Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: fix journal ref count in move_extent_par_page

move_extent_par_page calls a_ops->write_begin() to increase journal handler's
reference count. However, if either mext_replace_branches() or ext4_get_block
fails, the increased reference count isn't decreased. This will cause later
umounting of the fs forever hangs. The patch addresses the issue by calling
ext4_journal_stop() if page is not NULL (which means a_ops->write_end() isn't
invoked).
