This isn't a grammatically correct sentence, and it doesn't explain
what is going on.  I rewrote the patch description as follows:

   ext4: Get journal write access before modifying the extent tree

   When the user was writing into an unitialized extent,
   ext4_ext_convert_to_initialize() was not requesting journal write access
   before it started to modify the extent tree.   Fix this oversight.
