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. Hence move the update of bb_free to after the block double-free
check guarantees that the corresponding statistics are updated only after
the core block bitmap is modified.

Just one nit below but regardless of that feel free to add:

I think this might be more readable when we revert the condition like:
/*
* Fastcommit replay can free already freed blocks which
* corrupts allocation info. Regenerate it.
*/
if (sbi->s_mount_state & EXT4_FC_REPLAY) {
mb_regenerate_buddy(e4b);
goto check;
}
ext4_grp_locked_error(sb, e4b->bd_group,
inode ? inode->i_ino : 0, blocknr,
"freeing already freed block (bit %u); block bitmap corrupt.",
block);
ext4_mark_group_bitmap_corrupted(sb, e4b->bd_group,

Yes, it looks much clearer that way!
I will switch to it in the next version.
Thanks a lot!
