The variable status is being initialized with a value that is never read and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is redundant and could be removed. Also put the variable declarations into reverse christmas tree order. Finally, we add the log printing and ext4_mb_show_pa() for troubleshooting, they are enabled only when CONFIG_EXT4_DEBUG is set.
