Subject[108/165] ext4: Issue the discard operation *before* releasing the blocks to be reused
2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit b90f687018e6d6c77d981b09203780f7001407e5 upstream (as of v2.6.34-rc6)

Otherwise, we can end up having data corruption because the blocks
could get reused and then discarded!
