It can be definitely guaranteed that we can find enough extent block from dealloc,
since the estimation about metadata before operating b+ tree should be accurate.
All extent blocks in dealloc come from that extent tree.

This can't happen. In my design, we must find a valid extent block here, otherwise something
goes wrong.
So we'd better BUG here to find out the code bug ASAP.

Like other code snippet where ocfs2_lock_allocators is invoked, we have to double extent number passing
it into ocfs2_lock_allocators.

BTW, I have already posted v2 of this patch.
Please comment in that patch.
