ext4: partial revert to fix double brelse WARNING()
This is a partial revert of commit 6487a9d (only the changes made to fs/ext4/namei.c), since it is causing the following brelse() double-free warning when running fsstress on a file system with 1k blocksize and we run into a block allocation failure while converting a single-block directory to a multi-block hash-tree indexed directory.

Fixing this means cleaning up who is responsible for releasing the buffer heads from the callee to the caller of add_dirent_to_buf(). Since that's a relatively complex change, and we're late in the rcX development cycle, I'm reverting this now, and holding back a more complete fix until after 2.6.32 ships. We've lived with this buffer_head leak on ENOSPC in ext3 and ext4 for a very long time; a few more months won't kill us.
