Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix reservation release on invalidatepage for delalloc fs

On delalloc enabled file system on invalidatepage operation
in ext4_da_page_release_reservation() we want to clear the delayed
buffer and remove the extent covering the delayed buffer from the extent
status tree.

However currently there is a bug where on the systems with page size >
block size we will always remove extents from the start of the page
regardless where the actual delayed buffers are positioned in the page.
This leads to the errors like this:

EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_da_release_space:1225:
ext4_da_release_space: ino 13, to_free 1 with only 0 reserved data
blocks

This however can cause data loss on writeback time if the file system is
in ENOSPC condition because we're releasing reservation for someones
else delayed buffer.

Fix this by only removing extents that corresponds to the part of the
page we want to invalidate.

This problem is reproducible by the following fio receipt (however I was
only able to reproduce it with fio-2.1 or older.
