Subject: [107/165] ext4: Fix buffer head leaks after calls to ext4_get_inode_loc()

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit fd2dd9fbaf9e498ec63eef298921e36556f7214c upstream (as of v2.6.34-rc6)

Calls to ext4_get_inode_loc() returns with a reference to a buffer
head in iloc->bh.  The callers of this function in ext4_write_inode()
when in no journal mode and in ext4_xattr_fiemap() don't release the
buffer head after using it.

Addresses-Google-Bug: #2548165
