ext4: avoid buffer_head leak in ext4_mark_inode_used()
[ Upstream commit 5e5b2a56c57def1b41efd49596621504d7bcc61c ]
Release inode_bitmap_bh from ext4_read_inode_bitmap() in
ext4_mark_inode_used() to avoid buffer_head leak.
By the way, remove unneeded goto for invalid ino when inode_bitmap_bh
is NULL.
