Subject: ext4: release bh in make_indexed_dir

From: gmail <redacted>

commit e81d44778d1d57bbaef9e24c4eac7c8a7a401d40 upstream.

The commit 6050d47adcad: "ext4: bail out from make_indexed_dir() on
first error" could end up leaking bh2 in the error path.

[ Also avoid renaming bh2 to bh, which just confuses things --tytso ]
