Subject: [PATCH 03/10] ext4: add ext4_sb_getblk*() wrapper functions

For most cases of reading metadata block, we invoke sb_getblk() to get
bh and check the uptodate flag, and then lock buffer and submit bio to
read block data from disk if it isn't uptodate, finally return bh if
read successfully. But if the buffer return from sb_getblk() is
!uptodate and has write io error flag, it means that it has been failed
to write out but the metadata in this buffer is still uptodate, we
should avoid subsequent read to prevent potential inconsistency since
we may read old metadata successfully.

Now, we have already deal with it in some places, such as
__ext4_get_inode_loc() and commit 7963e5ac90125 ("ext4: treat buffers
with write errors as containing valid data"), but it's not enough.

This patch add ext4_sb_getblk*() wrapper function to check the buffer
is actually uptodate re-add the uptodate flag if it has write io error
flag, preparing to replace all sb_getblk*() to handle all the read
metadata cases.

 - ext4_sb_getblk(): works the same as sb_getblk(), preparing to replace
   all sb_getblk(). It is will be used for newly allocated blocks and
   the cases of getting buffers for write.
 - ext4_sb_getblk_locked(): works the same as sb_getblk() except check &
   fix buffer uotpdate flag, preparing to replace all sb_getblk(). It
   will be used for the cases of getting buffers for read.
 - ext4_sb_getblk_gfp(): gfp version of ext4_sb_getblk().
 - ext4_sb_getblk_locked_gfp(): gfp version of ext4_sb_getblk_locked().
