ext4: Patch up how we claim metadata blocks for quota purposes

As reported in Kernel Bugzilla #14936, commit d21cd8f triggered a BUG
in the function ext4_da_update_reserve_space() found in
fs/ext4/inode.c.  The root cause of this BUG() was caused by the fact
that ext4_calc_metadata_amount() can severely over-estimate how many
metadata blocks will be needed, especially when using direct
block-mapped files.

In addition, it can also badly *under* estimate how much space is
needed, since ext4_calc_metadata_amount() assumes that the blocks are
contiguous, and this is not always true.  If the application is
writing blocks to a sparse file, the number of metadata blocks
necessary can be severly underestimated by the functions
ext4_da_reserve_space(), ext4_da_update_reserve_space() and
ext4_da_release_space().  This was the cause of the dq_claim_space
reports found on kerneloops.org.

Unfortunately, doing this right means that we need to massively
over-estimate the amount of free space needed.  So in some cases we
may need to force the inode to be written to disk asynchronously in
to avoid spurious quota failures.
