We get a BUG as follow: [52117.465187] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [52117.465686] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:1756! ...

But the other case ext4_ext_shift_path_extents seems forget to do this(ext4_access_path may drop i_data_sem and recatch it with not enough credits), and will lead the upper BUG when there is a parallel extents split which will grow the extent tree. Fix it by introduce the again in ext4_ext_shift_extents.
