After updating bb_free in mb_free_blocks, it is possible to return without updating bb_fragments because the block being freed is found to have already been freed, which leads to inconsistency between bb_free and bb_fragments. Since the group may be unlocked in ext4_grp_locked_error(), this can lead to problems such as dividing by zero when calculating the average fragment length. Therefore, to ensure consistency, move the update of bb_free to after the block double-free check.
