Hi Jon,

Thanks for looking at the code.  When ext4_es_end is called, es_len
shouldn't be zero because we always get 'es' from extent status tree,
and we never save an 'es' whose length is zero.  So we don't need to
worry about this.

Regards,
                                                - Zheng
