Subject: [PATCH V3] ext4: speed-up releasing blocks on commit

Improve mb_free_blocks speed by clearing entire range at once instead of
iterating over each bit. Freeing block-by-block also makes buddy bitmap
subtree flip twice making most of the work a no-op. Very few bits in buddy
bitmap require change, e.g. freeing entire group is a 1 bit flip only.
As a result, releasing blocks of 60G file now takes 5ms instead of 2.7s.
This is especially good for non-preemptive kernels as there is no
rescheduling during release.
