Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Update ext4 journal routines to specify if journal
 allocations can fail with ENOMEM

Following patch updates ext4 journal routines to take extra paramter
to specify whether it
is ok to fail journal transaction allocation or not. Passing 'true'
means allocations can fail with ENOMEM
and the caller has to handle errors.
