Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: make sure ext4_append() always allocates new block
Date:   Mon,  4 Jul 2022 16:27:21 +0200

ext4_append() must always allocate a new block, otherwise we run the
risk of overwriting existing directory block corrupting the directory
tree in the process resulting in all manner of problems later on.

Add a sanity check to see if the logical block is already allocated and
error out if it is.
