If ENOMEM fails when the extent is splitting, we need to restore the length
of the split extent.
In the ext4_split_extent_at function, only in ext4_ext_create_new_leaf will
it alloc memory and change the shape of the extent tree,even if an ENOMEM
is returned at this time, the extent tree is still self-consistent, Just
restore the split extent lens in the function ext4_split_extent_at.

ext4_split_extent_at
 ext4_ext_insert_extent
  ext4_ext_create_new_leaf
   1)ext4_ext_split
     ext4_find_extent
   2)ext4_ext_grow_indepth
     ext4_find_extent

 Another solution is to add the __GFP_NOFAIL flag when allocating memory.
