Fast commit recovery data on disk may not be aligned. So, when the
recovery code reads it, this patch makes sure that fast commit info
found on-disk is first memcpy-ed into an aligned variable before
accessing it. As a consequence of it, we also remove some macros that
could resulted in unaligned accesses.

This patch makes fast_commit.h byte by byte identical with
e2fsprogs/fast_commit.h. This will help us ensure that there are no
on-disk format inconsistencies between e2fsck and kernel ext4.

Fast commits don't work with data journalling. This patch disables the
fast commit support when data journalling is turned on.

This patch removes jbd2_fc_init() API and its related functions to
simplify enabling fast commits. With this change, the number of fast
commit blocks to use is solely determined by the JBD2 layer. So, we
move the default value for minimum number of fast commit blocks from
ext4/fast_commit.h to include/linux/jbd2.h. However, whether or not to
use fast commits is determined by the file system. The file system
just sets the fast commit feature using
jbd2_journal_set_features(). JBD2 layer then determines how many
blocks to use for fast commits (based on the value found in the JBD2
superblock).
Note that the JBD2 feature flag of fast commits is just an indication
that there are fast commit blocks present on disk. It doesn't tell
JBD2 layer about the intent of the file system of whether to it wants
to use fast commit or not. That's why, we blindly clear the fast
commit flag in journal_reset() after the recovery is done.

If inode gets evicted due to memory pressure, we have to remove it
from the fast commit list. However, that inode may have uncommitted
changes that fast commits will lose. So, just fall back to full
commits in this case. Also, rename the fast commit ineligiblity reason
from "EXT4_FC_REASON_MEM" to "EXT4_FC_REASON_MEM_NOMEM" for better
expression.

This patch adds fast commit recovery path support for Ext4 file
system. We add several helper functions that are similar in spirit to
e2fsprogs journal recovery path handlers. Example of such functions
include - a simple block allocator, idempotent block bitmap update
function etc. Using these routines and the fast commit log in the fast
commit area, the recovery path (ext4_fc_replay()) performs fast commit
log recovery.

This patch adds main fast commit commit path handlers. The overall
patch can be divided into two inter-related parts:
(A) Metadata updates tracking
This part consists of helper functions to track changes that need
to be committed during a commit operation. These updates are
maintained by Ext4 in different in-memory queues. Following are
the APIs and their short description that are implemented in this
patch:
- ext4_fc_track_link/unlink/creat() - Track unlink. link and creat
operations
- ext4_fc_track_range() - Track changed logical block offsets
inodes
- ext4_fc_track_inode() - Track inodes
- ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() - Mark file system fast commit
ineligible()
- ext4_fc_start_update() / ext4_fc_stop_update() /
ext4_fc_start_ineligible() / ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() These
functions are useful for co-ordinating inode updates with
commits.
(B) Main commit Path
This part consists of functions to convert updates tracked in
in-memory data structures into on-disk commits. Function
ext4_fc_commit() is the main entry point to commit path.

This patch adds fast commit area trackers in the journal_t
structure. These are initialized via the jbd2_fc_init() routine that
this patch adds. This patch also adds ext4/fast_commit.c and
ext4/fast_commit.h files for fast commit code that will be added in
subsequent patches in this series.
