Subject: [RFC] basic delayed allocation in ext4

Good day,

please review ...

thanks, Alex

Basic delayed allocation in ext4

Two special ->get_block() methods are introduced:

  * ext4_da_get_block_prep()
    to be used with ->prepare_write(), defers allocation till flush
  * ext4_da_get_block_write()
    to be used with mpage_da_writepages(), allocate blocks and correct on-disk size

Current implementation works with data=writeback only, you should
mount filesystem with delalloc,data=writeback options.

TODO:
  * reservation
  * data=ordered
  * quota
  * bmap
