Any news on this one ?

If we call EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND ioctl and get_user() fails with -EFAULT
then any new call will return -EBUSY, unless we unmount/mount the fs.

In rare situations this can lead to a corrupt filesystem, I've experienced
this, but I'm not sure what I did. fsck fix it.

Thanks.
