Subject: [PATCH RFC 14/30] ext4: snapshot block operations

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@...rs.sf.net>

Core API of special snapshot file block operations.
The argument @create to the function ext4_getblk()
is re-interpreted as a snapshot block command argument.  The old
argument values 0(=read) and 1(=create) preserve the original
behavior of the function.  The bit field h_cowing in the current
transaction handle is used to prevent COW recursions.
