I wouldn't set delalloc bit here. If there's delalloc extent containing
lblk now, it means the caller of ext4_map_blocks() is not holding i_rwsem
(otherwise we would have found already in ext4_map_blocks()) and thus
delalloc info is unreliable anyway. So I wouldn't bother. But it's worth a
comment here like:

		/*
		 * There's delalloc extent containing lblk. It must have
		 * been added after ext4_map_blocks() checked the extent
		 * status tree so we are not holding i_rwsem and delalloc
		 * info is only stabilized by i_data_sem we are going to
		 * release soon. Don't modify the extent status tree and
		 * report extent as a hole.
