3.11.10.2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Joe Thornber <[email protected]> commit ed9571f0cf1fe09d3506302610f3ccdfa1d22c4a upstream. An old array block could have its reference count decremented below zero when it is being replaced in the btree by a new array block. The fix is to increment the old ablock's reference count just before inserting a new ablock into the btree.
