Subject: [PATCHv6 35/37] ext4: reserve larger jounral transaction for huge pages

If huge pages enabled, in worst case with 2048 blocks underlying a page,
each possibly in a different block group we have much more metadata to
commit.

Let's update estimates accordingly.

I was not able to trigger bad situation without the patch as it's hard to
construct very fragmented filesystem, but hopefully this change would be
enough to address the concern.
