Thanks, applied.

For future reference, this is my local preference and a tiny nit-pick,
but I prefer the first word after the colon to be uncapitalized (since
it isn't necessarily, and in most cases shouldn't be, a full complete
sentence).  So I would prefer:

    e2fsck: release clusters only once in release_inode_blocks

Also, either included in the same commit, or in a separate commit
(especially if several commits in a sequence are needed to fix a bug),
it's a really good idea to create a regression test.  This is also
useful because it means that you know you can create as small file
system to use a simple, pure regression test.  For example:

commit a126f79a0eee38762d8e3d110281ae86322de444
Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>
Date:   Fri Mar 16 11:19:02 2018 -0400

    tests: add new test f_bigalloc_orphan_list
    
    This is a regression test for the bugfix found in commit 707599bf:
    "e2fsck: release clusters only once in release_inode_blocks"
