This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
is happening.  Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,
and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to
distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

There are duplicate macro definitions of in_range() in mballoc.h and
balloc.c.  This consolidates these two definitions into ext4.h, and
changes extents.c to use in_range() as well.

Convert a bunch of BUG_ONs to emit a ext4_error() message and return
EIO.  This is a first pass and most notably does _not_ cover
mballoc.c, which is a morass of void functions.

Allocate uninitialized extent before ext4 buffer write and
convert the extent to initialized after io completes.
The purpose is to make sure an extent can only be marked
initialized after it has been written with new data so
we can safely drop the i_mutex lock in ext4 DIO read without
exposing stale data. This helps to improve multi-thread DIO
read performance on high-speed disks.

Skip the nobh and data=journal mount cases to make things simple for now.

This commit renames some of the direct I/O's block allocation flags,
variables, and functions introduced in Mingming's "Direct IO for holes
and fallocate" patches so that they can be used by ext4's buffered
write path as well.  Also changed the related function comments
accordingly to cover both direct write and buffered write cases.

<title>ext4: Add flag to files with blocks intentionally past EOF</title>

fallocate() may potentially instantiate blocks past EOF, depending
on the flags used when it is called.

e2fsck currently has a test for blocks past i_size, and it
sometimes trips up - noticeably on xfstests 013 which runs fsstress.

This patch from Jiayang does fix it up - it (along with
e2fsprogs updates and other patches recently from Aneesh) has
survived many fsstress runs in a row.

Add __percpu sparse annotations to fs.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors.  This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

<title>ext4: move __func__ into a macro for ext4_warning, ext4_error</title>

Just a pet peeve of mine; we had a mishash of calls with either __func__
or "function_name" and the latter tends to get out of sync.

I think it's easier to just hide the __func__ in a macro, and it'll
be consistent from then on.
