ext4: Fix lockdep warning
We should not call ext4_mb_add_n_trim while holding alloc_semp.
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.29-rc4-git1-dirty #124
---------------------------------------------
ffsb/3116 is trying to acquire lock:
(&meta_group_info[i]->alloc_sem){----}, at: [<ffffffff8035a6e8>]
ext4_mb_load_buddy+0xd2/0x343
but task is already holding lock:
(&meta_group_info[i]->alloc_sem){----}, at: [<ffffffff8035a6e8>]
ext4_mb_load_buddy+0xd2/0x343
