ext4: remove mb_groups before tearing down the buddy_cache
commit 95599968d19db175829fb580baa6b68939b320fb upstream.
We can't have references held on pages in the s_buddy_cache while we are
trying to truncate its pages and put the inode. All the pages must be
gone before we reach clear_inode. This can only be gauranteed if we
can prevent new users from grabbing references to s_buddy_cache's pages.
The original bug can be reproduced and the bug fix can be verified by:
while true; do mount -t ext4 /dev/ram0 /export/hda3/ram0; \
umount /export/hda3/ram0; done &
while true; do cat /proc/fs/ext4/ram0/mb_groups; done
