fix a double lock of a buffer head which deadlocked us on 
small blocksize filesystems. Also relocate a balance dirty
call so that we do it a little less often.

        - In the unwritten extent case, remove a call to lock_buffer()
          added in the last mod, this was incorrect and caused
          a deadlock. Also instead of doing balance dirty each
          time we dirty a buffer head, do it once for the whole
          page_state_convert call.
