I misread the git describe as saying it was included after -rc4. My
mistake. That indicates that the above fix wasn't quite correct...

Try the patch below.

xfs: really first cursor leak in xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_near

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner at redhat.com>

The current cursor is reallocated when retrying the allocation, so
the exist cursor needs to be destroyed in both the restart and the
failure case.
