ext4: fix growing of tiny filesystems

The estimate of necessary transaction credits in ext4_flex_group_add()
is too pessimistic. It reserves credit for sb, resize inode, and resize
inode dindirect block for each group added in a flex group although they
are always the same block and thus it is enough to account them only
once. Also the number of modified GDT block is overestimated since we
fit EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) descriptors in one block.

Make the estimation more precise. That reduces number of requested
credits enough that we can grow 20 MB filesystem (which has 1 MB
journal, 79 reserved GDT blocks, and flex group size 16 by default).

We previously prevented online resizing using the old resize ioctl.
Move the code to ext4_resize_begin(), so the check applies for all of
the resize ioctl's.

ext4: fix overflow when updating superblock backups after resize

When there are no meta block groups update_backups() will compute the
backup block in 32-bit arithmetics thus possibly overflowing the block
number and corrupting the filesystem. OTOH filesystems without meta
block groups larger than 16 TB should be rare. Fix the problem by doing
the counting in 64-bit arithmetics.

ext4: fix online resize with very large inode tables

If a file system has a large number of inodes per block group, all of
the metadata blocks in a flex_bg may be larger than what can fit in a
single block group. Unfortunately, ext4_alloc_group_tables() in
resize.c was never tested to see if it would handle this case
correctly, and there were a large number of bugs which caused the
following sequence to result in a BUG_ON:

kernel bug at fs/ext4/resize.c:409!
...

[<ffffffff81256768>] ext4_flex_group_add+0x1448/0x1830

rip [<ffffffff81254fa1>] set_flexbg_block_bitmap+0x171/0x180


This can be reproduced with the following command sequence:

mke2fs -t ext4 -i 4096 /dev/vdd 1G
mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /vdd
resize2fs /dev/vdd 8G

To fix this, we need to make sure the right thing happens when a block
group's inode table straddles two block groups, which means the
following bugs had to be fixed:

1) Not clearing the BLOCK_UNINIT flag in the second block group in
ext4_alloc_group_tables --- the was proximate cause of the BUG_ON.

2) Incorrectly determining how many block groups contained contiguous
free blocks in ext4_alloc_group_tables().

3) Incorrectly setting the start of the next block range to be marked
in use after a discontinuity in setup_new_flex_group_blocks().

Currently on many places in ext4 we're using
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() even though we're only interested in
knowing the block group of the particular block, not the offset within
the block group so we can use more efficient way to compute block
group.

This patch introduces ext4_get_group_number() which computes block
group for a given block much more efficiently. Use this function
instead of ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() everywhere where we're only
interested in knowing the block group.

ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.

The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:

T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable

./run-my-fs-benchmark

cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles

This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:
