Option journal_async_commit breaks gurantees of data=ordered mode as it
sends only a single cache flush after writing a transaction commit
block. Thus even though the transaction including the commit block is
fully stored on persistent storage, file data may still linger in drives
caches and will be lost on power failure. Since all checksums match on
journal recovery, we replay the transaction thus possibly exposing stale
user data.

To fix this data exposure issue, remove the possibility to use
journal_async_commit in data=ordered mode.

This was fixed for ext3 with:

e6d8fb3 ext3: Count internal journal as bsddf overhead in ext3_statfs

but was never fixed for ext4.

With a large external journal and no used disk blocks, df comes
out negative without this, as journal blocks are added to the
overhead &amp; subtracted from used blocks unconditionally.

Create a mount option to disable journal checksumming (because the
metadata_csum feature turns it on by default now), and fix remount not
to allow changing the journal checksumming option, since changing the
mount options has no effect on the journal.

Currently we scan extent status trees of inodes until we reclaim nr_to_scan
extents. This can however require a lot of scanning when there are lots
of delayed extents (as those cannot be reclaimed).

Change shrinker to work as shrinkers are supposed to and *scan* only
nr_to_scan extents regardless of how many extents did we actually
reclaim. We however need to be careful and avoid scanning each status
tree from the beginning - that could lead to a situation where we would
not be able to reclaim anything at all when first nr_to_scan extents in
the tree are always unreclaimable. We remember with each inode offset
where we stopped scanning and continue from there when we next come
across the inode.

Note that we also need to update places calling __es_shrink() manually
to pass reasonable nr_to_scan to have a chance of reclaiming anything and
not just 1.

Currently callers adding extents to extent status tree were responsible
for adding the inode to the list of inodes with freeable extents. This
is error prone and puts list handling in unnecessarily many places.

Just add inode to the list automatically when the first non-delay extent
is added to the tree and remove inode from the list when the last
non-delay extent is removed.

In this commit we discard the lru algorithm for inodes with extent
status tree because it takes significant effort to maintain a lru list
in extent status tree shrinker and the shrinker can take a long time to
scan this lru list in order to reclaim some objects.

We replace the lru ordering with a simple round-robin.  After that we
never need to keep a lru list.  That means that the list needn't be
sorted if the shrinker can not reclaim any objects in the first round.
