ouch! 
1. I need to make sure map.m_pblk is updated properly.
2. I need to make sure above call only happens with bigalloc.

Sorry about that. Generally not a good idea to send something that late
at night.
But I guess this can be fixed easily. so hopefully the algorithm should
still remain, more or less the same for ext4_map_blocks_atomic().
