Theodore Ts'o 1c5b9e9065 ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_free_branches ...

Commit 40389687 moved a call to ext4_forget() out of
ext4_free_branches and let ext4_free_blocks() handle calling
bforget().  But that change unfortunately did not replace the call to
ext4_forget() with brelse(), which was needed to drop the in-use count
of the indirect block's buffer head, which lead to a memory leak when
deleting files that used indirect blocks.  Fix this.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing this out.
