Subject: ext2_set_link()->ext2_put_page() question

Jan,

Why does ext2_set_link() need to call ext2_put_page()?

I don't see any reason that we could not match up the ext2_put_page() calls
with the ext2_find_entry().

Similarly am I missing something by moving the ext2_put_page() out of
ext2_delete_entry()?

See below patch.

I'm in the process of changing the kmap() calls in ext2_[get|put]_page() into
kmap_local_page() and I noticed this imbalance.  It does not really save me
anything because I need to pass the kaddr into these calls but IMO it makes the
code a bit easier to follow.

If you agree I will get a patch together to submit with the kmap_local_page()
patch.

Thanks,
Ira
