Aneesh Kumar K.V 920313a726 ext4: Use EXT4_GROUP_INFO_NEED_INIT_BIT during resize
The new groups added during resize are flagged as
need_init group. Make sure we properly initialize these
groups. When we have block size < page size and we are adding
new groups the page may still be marked uptodate even though
we haven't initialized the group. While forcing the init
of buddy cache we need to make sure other groups part of the
same page of buddy cache is not using the cache.
group_info->alloc_sem is added to ensure the same.

Theodore Ts'o 3e624fc72f ext4: Replace hackish ext4_mb_poll_new_transaction with commit callback
The multiblock allocator needs to be able to release blocks (and issue
a blkdev discard request) when the transaction which freed those
blocks is committed.  Previously this was done via a polling mechanism
when blocks are allocated or freed.  A much better way of doing things
is to create a jbd2 callback function and attaching the list of blocks
to be freed directly to the transaction structure.

Aneesh Kumar K.V c894058d66 ext4: Use an rbtree for tracking blocks freed during transaction.
With this patch we track the block freed during a transaction using
red-black tree.  We also make sure contiguous blocks freed are collected
in one node in the tree.

Theodore Ts'o 9f6200bbfc ext4: move /proc setup and teardown out of mballoc.c
...and into the core setup/teardown code in fs/ext4/super.c so that
other parts of ext4 can define tuning parameters.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 6be2ded1d7 ext4: Don't allow lg prealloc list to be grow large.
Currently, the locality group prealloc list is freed only when there
is a block allocation failure. This can result in large number of
entries in the preallocation list making ext4_mb_use_preallocated()
expensive.

To fix this, we convert the locality group prealloc list to a hash
list. The hash index is the order of number of blocks in the prealloc
space with a max order of 9. When adding prealloc space to the list we
make sure total entries for each order does not exceed 8. If it is
more than 8 we discard few entries and make sure the we have only <= 5
entries.
