Subject: [PATCH] ext4: iterate over buffer heads correctly in move_extent_per_page()

In commit bcff24887d00 ("ext4: don't read blocks from disk after extents
being swapped") bh is not updated correctly in the for loop and wrong
data has been written to disk. generic/324 catches this on sub-page
block size ext4.

Fixes: bcff24887d00 ("ext4: don't read blocks from disk after extentsbeing swapped")

Not sure why I didn't notice generic/324 failure in the first place, it fails
every time for me with 4.5-rc5 kernel. Sorry about that!

I tested this patch with 1k/2k/4k block size ext4 with all defrag related tests
in xfstests (ext4/301 ext4/302 ext4/303 ext4/304 ext4/307 ext4/308 generic/324)
and results showed no regression. Test with the reproducer in commit
bcff24887d00 also passed.
