What I'd suggest doing (if someone is interested in doing the cleanup)
is moving the code into an inline function which is normally #ifdef'ed
to be an empty function, but which could be enabled if we want enable
the debugging cross check.  This is what we've done in other parts of
the ext4 code base, and by moving the debugging code so it's not
inline with the rest of the function, it should make it more readable.
