Subject: [PATCH 4/7] ext4 resize: brelse() cleanup in add_new_gdb_meta_bg()

gdb_bh must be released in case of errors before update of s_group_desc
but it must not be released after update of group descriptors
because in this case bh can be used later.

Fixes 01f795f9e0d6 ("ext4: add online resizing support for meta_bg ...")
#? cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # 3.7+
