    ext4: Reserve revoke credits for freed blocks

    So far we have reserved only relatively high fixed amount of revoke
    credits for each transaction. We over-reserved by large amount for most
    cases but when freeing large directories or files with data journalling,
    the fixed amount is not enough. In fact the worst case estimate is
    inconveniently large (maximum extent size) for freeing of one extent.

    We fix this by doing proper estimate of the amount of blocks that need
    to be revoked when removing blocks from the inode due to truncate or
    hole punching and otherwise reserve just a small amount of revoke
    credits for each transaction to accommodate freeing of xattrs block or
    so.
