Subject: [PATCH 5.4 177/177] ext4: fix leak of quota reservations

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit f4c2d372b89a1e504ebb7b7eb3e29b8306479366 upstream.

Commit 8fcc3a580651 ("ext4: rework reserved cluster accounting when
invalidating pages") moved freeing of delayed allocation reservations
from dirty page invalidation time to time when we evict corresponding
status extent from extent status tree. For inodes which don't have any
blocks allocated this may actually happen only in ext4_clear_blocks()
which is after we've dropped references to quota structures from the
inode. Thus reservation of quota leaked. Fix the problem by clearing
quota information from the inode only after evicting extent status tree
in ext4_clear_inode().
