ext4: Don't overwrite allocation_context ac_status
We can call ext4_mb_check_limits even after successfully allocating the requested blocks. In that case, make sure we don't overwrite ac_status if it already has the status AC_STATUS_FOUND. This fixes the lockdep warning: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.28-rc6-autokern1 #1 --------------------------------------------- fsstress/11948 is trying to acquire lock: (&meta_group_info[i]->alloc_sem){----}, at: [<c04d9a49>] ext4_mb_load_buddy+0x9f/0x278 ..... stack backtrace: .....
