Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix unbalanced up_write() in ext4_ext_truncate() error path

ext4_ext_truncate() should not invoke up_write(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem)
when ext4_orphan_add() returns an error, as it hasn't performed a
down_write() yet. This trivial patch fixes this by moving the up_write()
invocation above the out_stop label.
