Warning in record_one_backref()

Warning in record_one_backref()

[Pedro Fonseca]

Hi,

In another test, I've encountered a few situations that triggered a warning message in "record_one_backref()". I'm not sure if it's serious but it is probably related to 
the concurrent defragment operations executed during the test.

I think You'll need this patch or later linux-3.11 or linux-3.12

The patch has been added to stable kernel 3.11.6.
