ext4: Fix data corruption when writing to prealloc area

Inserting an extent can cause a new entry in the already existing index
block. That doesn't increase the depth of the instead. Instead it adds a
new leaf block. Now with the new leaf block the path information
corresponding to the logical block should be fetched from the new block.
The old path will be pointing to the old leaf block.

We need to recalucate the path information on extent insert
even if depth doesn't change. Without this change, the extent merge
after converting an unwritten extent to initialized extent takes the wrong
extent and cause data corruption.
