Other issues not withstanding (sounds like Mark still has a lingering,
potential corruption case), this fixes the warnings I was seeing. I ran
through an xfstest cycle without problem. Thanks for fixing this.

The cursor allocated flag appears to be used to carry bmbt block
allocations over to delayed allocation extent conversions (such that
these allocations are accounted from previous delalloc extent index
block reservations). This is all within the bmbt code, so clearing the
flag seems reasonable as well.

Though I wonder why it falls on the caller to clear the flag as opposed
to fixing up the flag automatically when it becomes accounted for. I
guess that would enable a warning with semantics of "something might
have been unaccounted for" vs. "somebody forgot to reset a flag." That
said, it's likely there are circumstances involved with this mechanism
that I'm not yet familiar with.;)

I did not have this patch included in my tests just the code from Linux 3.15-rc5. I will add and see if it still asserts.

--Mark.
