From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Even though ext4_find_extent() returns an error, ext4_insert_range() still returns 0. This may confuse the user as to why fallocate returns success, but the contents of the file are not as expected. So propagate the error returned by ext4_find_extent() to avoid inconsistencies.
