Since these are logical block numbers within the journal, they certainly
don't need to be 64-bit values.  loff_t is for byte offsets, this should
use ext4_lblk_t, which will also reduce the size of the struct by 8 bytes.

This comment should document what lock is protecting this list, along
with the other fields.

Since this increases the size of the inode, does it affect the number of
inodes that can fit into one page of ext4_inode_cachep?

This comment should document what lock is protecting this list, along

It is slightly more space efficient to put the bool values together
rather than interleaving them between 64-bit values.
