Is there a bugzilla entry for this?  I found the problem and a fix;
patch follows in a moment.

Also, here's a simplified repro that doesn't require LVM.  The bug was
introduced in commit fb0a387dcdc, so it goes back to 2.6.32.  It only
affects block allocations for files that aren't extent mapped, and is
caused by the fact that the online resizer wasn't updating
s_blockfile_groups (which was introduced in commit fb0a387dcdc).
