Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix potential use after free

brelse(bh) is called to drop the reference count of bh when the call
to nilfs_dat_translate fails. If the reference count hits 0, bh may be
freed. However, bh->b_page is unlocked and put after that, which may
result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves the release operation
after unlocking and putting the page.
