  Yes, the function looks buggy. Luckily, it is called only in case we are
not able to allocate space for delay-allocated data which is a bug on its
own. So people should never hit it.
  Attached patch should fix the issue. Ted, will you merge it please?
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Release page references acquired in ext4_da_block_invalidatepages

We forget to release page references we acquire in
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages.  Luckily, this function gets called only if we
are not able to allocate blocks for delay-allocated data so that function
should better never be called.

Also cleanup handling of index variable.
