Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] ext4: fix insufficient credits calculation in ext4_meta_trans_blocks()

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

The calculation of journal credits in ext4_meta_trans_blocks() should
include pextents, as each extent separately may be allocated from a
different group and thus need to update different bitmap and group
descriptor block.

Fixes: 0e32d8617012 ("ext4: correct the journal credits calculations of allocating blocks")
Reported-by: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/nhxfuu53wyacsrq7xqgxvgzcggyscu2tbabginahcygvmc45hy@t4fvmyeky33e/
