Subject: ext4: make sure ext4_append() always allocates new block

From: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b8a04fe77ef1360fbf73c80fddbdfeaa9407ed1b upstream.

ext4_append() must always allocate a new block, otherwise we run the
risk of overwriting existing directory block corrupting the directory
tree in the process resulting in all manner of problems later on.

Add a sanity check to see if the logical block is already allocated and
error out if it is.
