Hi
I think this patch doesn't handle the case we only find some pending updates
,but neither find any pending insertion nor skip any extent on the pending list.
In that case, num_inserts == 0, restart == 0. finish_current_insert
exits immediately
after update_backrefs return. This problem is that update_backrefs may add
new extents to the pending list.

I think set 'restart' to 1 when 'extent_op->type == PENDING_BACKREF_UPDATE'
and 'all == 1' can solve the problem.
