commit 6eeaf88fd586f05aaf1d48cb3a139d2a5c6eb055 upstream.
We probably want to remove the indirect block to extents migration feature after a deprecation window, but until then, let's fix a potential data loss problem caused by the fact that we put the tmp_inode on the orphan list. In the unlikely case where we crash and do a journal recovery, the data blocks belonging to the inode being migrated are also represented in the tmp_inode on the orphan list --- and so its data blocks will get marked unallocated, and available for reuse.
Instead, stop putting the tmp_inode on the oprhan list. So in the case where we crash while migrating the inode, we'll leak an inode, which is not a disaster. It will be easily fixed the next time we run fsck, and it's better than potentially having blocks getting claimed by two different files, and losing data as a result.
