3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ed9571f0cf1fe09d3506302610f3ccdfa1d22c4a upstream.
An old array block could have its reference count decremented below
zero when it is being replaced in the btree by a new array block.
The fix is to increment the old ablock's reference count just before
inserting a new ablock into the btree.
