Subject: [PATCH RFC 20/30] ext4: snapshot journaled - increase transaction credits

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

Snapshot operations are journaled as part of the running transaction.
The amount of requested credits is multiplied with a factor, to ensure
that enough buffer credits are reserved in the running transaction.
The new field h_base_credits stored to original credits request and
the new filed u_user_credits counts the number of credits used by
non-COW operations.  They are especially useful when exteding a large
transaction, which did not use the extra COW credits it requested.
In this case, only the missing extra credits are requested.
