commit 79b592e8f1b435796cbc2722190368e3e8ffd7a1 upstream.

When the split extent fails, we might leave some extents still being
processed and return an error directly, which will result in stale
extent entries remaining in the extent status tree. So drop all of the
remaining potentially stale extents if the splitting fails.
