Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix max file size of extent format file

We hit BUG_ON in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a file
whose size is the max file size of extent format. Because the extent cache
length is 0 when we allocate two blocks to the file offset 2^32-2, and then
the offset 2^32-1. To fix it, we decrease the max file size to
(2^32-2)*blocksize. In this way, we would be able to allocate a block up to
the offset 2^32-2. I think there is no data loss because we can read all files
created before applying this patch.

How to reproduce:
I'm running 2.6.39-rc6. Note that i386 architecture and 4KB blocksize cannot
reproduce this problem.

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-2))
# sync
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-1))
