ext4: fix ext4_mb_mark_bb() with flex_bg with fast_commit



In case of flex_bg feature (which is by default enabled), extents for
any given inode might span across blocks from two different block group.
ext4_mb_mark_bb() only reads the buffer_head of block bitmap once for the
starting block group, but it fails to read it again when the extent length
boundary overflows to another block group. Then in this below loop it
accesses memory beyond the block group bitmap buffer_head and results
into a data abort.

	for (i = 0; i < clen; i++)
		if (!mb_test_bit(blkoff + i, bitmap_bh->b_data) == !state)
			already++;

This patch adds this functionality for checking block group boundary in
ext4_mb_mark_bb() and update the buffer_head(bitmap_bh) for every different
block group.

w/o this patch, I was easily able to hit a data access abort using Power platform.
