Title:
  fsck.ext4 fails to fix multiply-claimed blocks: can't find dup_blk

Bug description:
  [SRU justification]

  [Impact]

  The last few times my root ext4 filesystem had its regularly-scheduled
  boot-time check, errors were reported. The first time it happened, I
  simply told the system to fix the errors, but since they kept coming
  up again, I decided to look more closely. I booted from a live USB
  drive, assembled my raid partitions, and ran fsck.ext4 manually.

  Without any options, fsck.ext4 simply reported that the filesystem was
  clean, and exited. Things got more interesting when I ran with -f. It
  reported several multiply-claimed blocks, and when I told fsck to go
  ahead and clone them, it failed with an internal error. Repeated runs
  of fsck revealed that the filesystem was still not fixed, and repeated
  attempts to fix the problem also failed, reporting that multiply-
  claimed blocks already reassigned or cloned.

  I was lucky in that the files in question were unimportant, so
  deleting one of them and running fsck again seems to have fixed my
  problem this time. However, fsck's internal error and failure to fix
  the problem in the first place is worrisome.
