2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ (cherry picked from commit 91cc219ad963731191247c5f2db4118be2bc341a) move_extent_par_page calls a_ops->write_begin() to increase journal handler's reference count. However, if either mext_replace_branches() or ext4_get_block fails, the increased reference count isn't decreased. This will cause a later attempt to umount of the fs to hang forever. The patch addresses the issue by calling ext4_journal_stop() if page is not NULL (which means a_ops->write_end() isn't invoked).
