Subject: [PATCH] ext4: simplify calculation of blocks to free on error

In ext4_ext_map_blocks(), if we have successfully allocated the data
blocks, but then run into trouble inserting the extent into the extent
tree, most likely due to an ENOSPC condition, determine the arguments
to ext4_free_blocks() in a simpler way which is easier to prove to be
correct.
