Subject: [PATCH v2]Ext4: journal credits reservation fixes for DIO,
	fallocate and delalloc writepages

Updated patch with Andrea and Aneesh's review comments.

I added this patch in patch queue, let me know if you have other concerns.

Ext4: journal credits reservation fixes for DIO, fallocate and delalloc writepages

From: Mingming Cao <cmm@...ibm.com>

With delalloc, at writepages() time, we need to reserve enough credits to start
a new handle, to allow possible multiple segment of block allocations under a
single call mapge_da_writepages(), to fit metadata updates into the single
transaction. This patch fixed this by calculating the needed credits for
write-out given number of dirty pages, with the consideration of discontinues
block allocations. It fixed both extent files and non extent files.

This patch also fixed the journal credit reservation for DIO. Currently the
estimated credits for DIO is only based on non extent format file. That credit
is not enough for mballoc a single extent on extent based file. This patch
fixed that.

The fallocate double booking credits for modifying super block etc, this patch
fixed that.

This also fix credit reservation in migration and defrag code.
