The use of an enum value returned from
xfs_alloc_busy_update_extent() is a good improvement.

I'll issue the caveat here that I did not look through
it this time as carefully as the first time.  My main
concern was about the validity of reusing busy user data
extents for user data, and as before I'll say I accept
that it's OK, but I haven't worked through in my own
mind that it is indeed safe.  If I find the time to do
it I'll look this one over again to for reassurance...

But aside from that, it looks good to me.
