ext4: make the zero-out chunk size tunable

Browse Source 
Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks.  But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.

So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent.  The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

Description:
The maximum number of megabytes the writeback code will
try to write out before move on to another inode.
What: /sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/extent_max_zeroout_kb
Date: August 2012
Contact: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
Description:
The maximum number of kilobytes which will be zeroed
out in preference to creating a new uninitialized
extent when manipulating an inode's extent tree. Note
that using a larger value will increase the
variability of time necessary to complete a random
write operation (since a 4k random write might turn
into a much larger write due to the zeroout
operation).
