Consider the following interleaving of overlapping calls to
alloc_extent_buffer:

Call 1:

- Successfully allocates a few pages with find_or_create_page
- find_or_create_page fails, goto free_eb
- Unlocks the allocated pages

Call 2:
- Calls find_or_create_page and gets a page in call 1's extent_buffer
- Finds that the page is already associated with an extent_buffer
- Grabs a reference to the half-written extent_buffer and calls
  mark_extent_buffer_accessed on it

mark_extent_buffer_accessed will then try to call mark_page_accessed on
a null page and panic.

The fix is to decrement the reference count on the half-written
extent_buffer before unlocking the pages so call 2 won't use it. We
should also set exists = NULL in the case that we don't use exists to
avoid accidentally returning a freed extent_buffer in an error case.
