The caller gurantees that PREV is delayed allocation - it's keyed
off the bma->wasdel that is only set in this case.

I can add an assert like this, though:

	ASSERT(isnullstartblock(PREV.br_startblock));

For a the BMAP_LEFT_FILLING | BMAP_LEFT_CONTIG I could move it up,
but in many cases we rely on bma->cur->bc_private.b.allocated to
calculate the indirect block reservation, so setting the startblock val
needs to be after ةodifying the on-disk btree.  That's also the reason
why the old code was written in an odd way where some fields where update
before, but the rest only after the on-disk update.

Yes, that change is incorrect and should use the "old" copy like
in other places.  Looks like nothing in xfstests hits this case,
which seems odd.

I think it keeps things a little cleaner - we calculate temp and
da_new first, and then set each field of the extent structure,  But
it could work either way.

Looks like it hasn't and it should be safe to remove.
