ext4: handle deleting corrupted indirect blocks

While freeing indirect blocks we attach a journal head to the parent buffer
head, free the blocks, then journal the parent. If the indirect block list
is corrupted and points to the parent the journal head will be detached
when the block is cleared, causing an OOPS.

Check for that explicitly and handle it gracefully.

This patch fixes the third case (image hdb.20000057.nullderef.gz)
reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.
