The function ext4_release_io_end() can be called by
ext4_put_io_end_defer() with the EXT4_IO_UNWRITTEN flag set and
io_end->size is 0.  In that case, it's safe to release the io_end
structure, since if io_end->size is zero, there is no unwritten region
to release.

This can be reproduced using generic/300, although not very reliably,
and almost never using a freshly rebooted kernel.

NACK; this patch no longer applies given the move to use iomap for direct I/O.
