ext4: fix setting random pages PageUptodate

ext4_end_bio calls put_page and kmem_cache_free before calling
SetPageUpdate(). This can result in setting the PageUptodate bit on
random pages and causes the following BUG:

 BUG: Bad page state in process rm  pfn:52e54
 page:ffffea0001222260 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
 arch kernel: page flags: 0x4000000000000008(uptodate)

Fix the problem by moving put_io_page() after the SetPageUpdate() call.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins for analyzing this problem.
