Subject: [PATCH v3 07/10] ext4: correct the reserved credits for extent conversion

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

Now, we reserve journal credits for converting extents in only one page
to written state when the I/O operation is complete. This is
insufficient when large folio is enabled.

Fix this by reserving credits for converting up to one extent per block in
the largest 2MB folio, this calculation should only involve extents index
and leaf blocks, so it should not estimate too many credits.

Fixes: 7ac67301e82f ("ext4: enable large folio for regular file")
