ext4: fix BUG_ON() in ext4_ext_insert_extent()

Does not corrispond with a direct commit in Linus's tree as it was fixed
differently in the 3.0 release.


We will meet with a BUG_ON() if following script is run.

mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 /dev/sdb1 1000000
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
fallocate -l 100M /mnt/sdb1/test
sync
for((i=0;i<170;i++))
do
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb1/test conv=notrunc bs=256k count=1
seek=`expr $i \* 2`
done
umount /mnt/sdb1
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb1/test conv=notrunc bs=256k count=1 seek=341
umount /mnt/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb1/test conv=notrunc bs=256k count=1 seek=340
sync

The reason is that it forgot to mark dirty when splitting two extents in
ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized(). Althrough ex has been updated in
memory, it is not dirtied both in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() and
ext4_ext_insert_extent(). The disk layout is corrupted. Then it will
meet with a BUG_ON() when writting at the start of that extent again.
