Could   ext4_claim_free_blocks() returns the total number of blocks
shortage, so that we don't need to "guess" how much to attempt to
allocate?

Ext4_count_free_blocks() has the extra debugging code too. I think you
could calling ext4_count_free_blocks() directly and don't need the new
function ext4_print_free_blocks().

could we print out the error code with the warning message here?
