ext4_alloc_file_blocks() calls ext4_map_blocks(), inside which we do
call ext4_fc_track_range(). However, we are doing that only if
map.m_flags & EXT4_MAP_MAPPED is true. So, unwritten flag is set we
are not calling track_range there. Perhaps the right fix is to call
ext4_fc_track_range() from ext4_map_blocks() if MAPPED or UNWRITTEN
flag is set?
