ext4: using nofail preallocation in ext4_es_remove_extent()
[ Upstream commit e9fe2b88 ] If __es_remove_extent() returns an error it means that when splitting extent, allocating an extent that must be kept failed, where returning an error directly would cause the extent tree to be inconsistent. So we use GFP_NOFAIL to pre-allocate an extent_status and pass it to __es_remove_extent() to avoid this problem. In addition, since the allocated memory is outside the i_es_lock, the extent_status tree may change and the pre-allocated extent_status is no longer needed, so we release the pre-allocated extent_status when es->es_len is not initialized.
