Subject: [PATCH 07/26] jbd2: Fix race in t_outstanding_credits update in jbd2_journal_extend()

jbd2_journal_extend() first checked whether transaction can accept extending
handle with more credits and then added credits to t_outstanding_credits.
This can race with start_this_handle() adding another handle to a transaction
and thus overbooking a transaction. Make jbd2_journal_extend() use
atomic_add_return() to close the race.
