Subject: [PATCH 07/25] ext4: support large block size in ext4_calculate_overhead()

From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@...wei.com>

ext4_calculate_overhead() used a single page for its bitmap buffer, which
worked fine when PAGE_SIZE >= block size. However, with block size greater
than page size (BS > PS) support, the bitmap can exceed a single page.

To address this, we now use __get_free_pages() to allocate multiple pages,
sized to the block size, to properly support BS > PS.
