I will fold these patches into the patch queue in the proper places
(and adjust other patches as necessary).

This patch hunk causes a failure due to a botched brelse->put_bh
conversion, but removing it isn't the right fix.  It was there to
avoid a buffer leak on a goto.  So the right fix is to remove the
put_bh() above, but to add one here, circa line 4542 of mballoc.c:

        if (overflow && !err) {
                block += count;
                count = overflow;
+               put_bh(bitmap_bh);
                goto do_more;
        }

And once we do that, we can drop the initialization of bitmap_bh to
NULL, circa line 4408:

                        int metadata, unsigned long *freed)
{
-       struct buffer_head *bitmap_bh = NULL;
+       struct buffer_head *bitmap_bh;
        struct super_block *sb = inode->i_sb;
        struct ext4_allocation_context ac;
