I add a BUG_ON here because we assume that in extent cache there is no such
two extents whose mapping address is continuous but without being merged,
since whenever we add a new extent(not splitted one) into cache, we tries to
merge it frontward/backward, then all extent with continuous mapping should be
merged. So when we split one extent to two parts, each part should not be able
to merge with others. Otherwise it should be a bug.

Is there some special case to trigger this BUG_ON?

Thanks,
