We should not call ext4_mb_add_n_trim while holding alloc_semp.

    =============================================
    [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
    2.6.29-rc4-git1-dirty #124
    ---------------------------------------------
    ffsb/3116 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&meta_group_info[i]->alloc_sem){----}, at: [<ffffffff8035a6e8>]
     ext4_mb_load_buddy+0xd2/0x343

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&meta_group_info[i]->alloc_sem){----}, at: [<ffffffff8035a6e8>]
     ext4_mb_load_buddy+0xd2/0x343
