Subject: ext4: fix error paths in swap_inode_boot_loader()

commit 30d29b119ef01776e0a301444ab24defe8d8bef3 upstream.

In swap_inode_boot_loader() we forgot to release ->i_mutex and resume
unlocked dio for inode and inode_bl if there is an error starting the
journal handle.  This commit fixes this issue.
