Subject: [PATCH 3.16 096/125] ext4: fix incorect journal credits reservation in ext4_zero_range

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@...nvz.org>

commit 69dc9536405213c1d545fcace1fc15c481d00aae upstream.

Currently we reserve only 4 blocks but in worst case scenario
ext4_zero_partial_blocks() may want to zeroout and convert two
non adjacent blocks.
