    ext4: fix infinite loop when replaying fast_commit
    
    [ Upstream commit 907c3fe532253a6ef4eb9c4d67efb71fab58c706 ]
    
    When doing fast_commit replay an infinite loop may occur due to an
    uninitialized extent_status struct.  ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole() does
    not detect the replay and calls ext4_es_find_extent_range(), which will
    return immediately without initializing the 'es' variable.
    
    Because 'es' contains garbage, an integer overflow may happen causing an
    infinite loop in this function, easily reproducible using fstest generic/039.
    
    This commit fixes this issue by unconditionally initializing the structure
    in function ext4_es_find_extent_range().
    
    Thanks to Zhang Yi, for figuring out the real problem!
