Subject: [PATCH v3 05/30] libext2fs: fix block leak when releasing xattr block

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@...cle.com>

If in the process of writing EAs to an inode we discover that we no
longer need the EA block, use the helper function to decrement the
block's usage count and release it, instead of (brokenly) open-coding
it.  Also we need to decrement i_blocks when freeing the EA block.
