If we hit this error when mounted with errors=continue or errors=remount-ro: EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:2940: comm ext4.exe: Allocating blocks 5090-6081 which overlap fs metadata then ext4_mb_new_blocks() will call ext4_mb_release_context() and try to continue. However, ext4_mb_release_context() is the wrong thing to call here since we are still actually using the allocation context. Instead, just error out. We could retry the allocation, but there is a possibility of getting stuck in an infinite loop instead, so this seems safer.
