Subject: [PATCH 2.6.33.y 37/40] ext4: restart ext4_ext_remove_space() after transaction restart

From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@...nvz.org>

commit 0617b83fa239db9743a18ce6cc0e556f4d0fd567 upstream (as of v2.6.34-git13)

If i_data_sem was internally dropped due to transaction restart, it is
necessary to restart path look-up because extents tree was possibly
modified by ext4_get_block().
