This patch separates block bitmap and buddy bitmap freeing in order to update block bitmap with ext4_mb_mark_context in following patch. The reason why this can be sperated is explained in previous submit. Put the explanation here to simplify the code archeology to ext4_group_add_blocks(): Separated freeing is safe with concurrent allocation as long as: 1. Firstly allocate block in buddy bitmap, and then in block bitmap. 2. Firstly free block in block bitmap, and then buddy bitmap. Then freed block will only be available to allocation when both buddy bitmap and block bitmap are updated by freeing. Allocation obeys rule 1 already, just do sperated freeing with rule 2. Separated freeing has no race with generate_buddy as: Once ext4_mb_load_buddy_gfp is executed successfully, the update-to-date buddy page can be found in sbi->s_buddy_cache and no more buddy initialization of the buddy page will be executed concurrently until buddy page is unloaded. As we always do free in "load buddy, free, unload buddy" sequence, separated freeing has no race with generate_buddy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
