Subject[PATCH 2/2] ext4: do not left pages locked in ext4_writepage()
Date
If call to ext4_init_io_end() is failed under memory pressure,
ext4_writepage() calls redirty_page_for_writepage() but left the page locked.
That leads to a deadlock since it is expected the page is unlocked after writepage().

Found by Linux File System Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
