I was wondering if this was done at the end of the function to avoid the
need to undo it if there was an error in the middle of the operation?
I suppose the worst that would happen in that case is an extra bit set
in the block bitmap until the next e2fsck, which is a relatively safe
side-effect...  I'm not sure whether e2fsck would abort anyway in the
case either of these functions return an error?

In any case, this is better than what is there currently.
