ext4: Don't overwrite allocation_context ac_status
We can call ext4_mb_check_limits even after successfully allocating
the requested blocks.  In that case, make sure we don't overwrite
ac_status if it already has the status AC_STATUS_FOUND.  This fixes
the lockdep warning:

but task is already holding lock:
