brelse(bh) is called to drop the reference count of bh when the call to nilfs_dat_translate fails. If the reference count hits 0, bh may be freed. However, bh->b_page is unlocked and put after that, which may result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves the release operation after unlocking and putting the page.
