This isn't a grammatically correct sentence, and it doesn't explain
what is going on. I rewrote the patch description as follows:
ext4: Get journal write access before modifying the extent tree
When the user was writing into an unitialized extent,
ext4_ext_convert_to_initialize() was not requesting journal write access
before it started to modify the extent tree. Fix this oversight.
