The mballoc code likes to call ext4_error while it is holding locked
block groups.  This can causes a scheduling in atomic context BUG.  We
can't just unlock the block group and relock it after/if ext4_error
returns since that might result in race conditions in the case where
the filesystem is set to continue after finding errors.
