We added the documentation in ext4_map_blocks() for usage of EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_QUERY_LAST_IN_LEAF flag. But It's better to add a WARN_ON_ONCE in case if anyone tries using this flag with CREATE to avoid a random issue later. Since depth can change with CREATE and it needs to be re-calculated before using it in there.
