ocfs2_duplicate_clusters_by_page may crash if an extent's page is dirty. When a page has not been written back, it is still in dirty state. If at that moment, ocfs2_duplicate_clusters_by_page is called against this page, the crash happens.
To fix this bug, we can just unlock the page and wait the page until it's not dirty. I don't know whether the patch is appropriate, so I need comments, thanks.
