ext4: avoid bb_free and bb_fragments inconsistency in mb_free_blocks()

commit 2331fd4a49864e1571b4f50aa3aa1536ed6220d0 upstream.

After updating bb_free in mb_free_blocks, it is possible to return without
updating bb_fragments because the block being freed is found to have
already been freed, which leads to inconsistency between bb_free and
bb_fragments.

Since the group may be unlocked in ext4_grp_locked_error(), this can lead
to problems such as dividing by zero when calculating the average fragment
length. Hence move the update of bb_free to after the block double-free
check guarantees that the corresponding statistics are updated only after
the core block bitmap is modified.
