When using quota feature we need to enable quotas before orphan cleanup
so that changes happening during it are properly reflected in quota
accounting.

So far we silently ignored when quota mount options were set while quota
feature was enabled.  But this can create confusion in userspace when
mount options are set but silently ignored and also creates opportunities
for bugs when we don't properly test all quota types.  Actually
ext4_mark_dquot_dirty() forgets to test for quota feature so it was
dependent on journaled quota options being set.  OTOH ext4_orphan_cleanup()
tries to enable journaled quota when quota options are specified which is
wrong when quota feature is enabled.

ext4_dir_llseek is only used as a callback function, and no one calls
it directly.  So make it as a static function in order to remove a
warning message from sparse check.

We're using macro EXT4_B2C() to convert number of blocks to number of
clusters for bigalloc file systems.  However, we should be using
EXT4_NUM_B2C().

'orig_data' is malloced in ext4_remount() and should be freed
before leaving from the error handling cases, otherwise it will

Use a percpu counter rather than atomic types for shrinker accounting.
There's no need for ultimate accuracy in the shrinker, so this
should come a little more cheaply.  The percpu struct is somewhat
large, but there was a big gap before the cache-aligned
s_es_lru_lock anyway, and it fits nicely in there.

When the system is under memory pressure, ext4_es_srhink() will get
called very often.  So optimize returning the number of items in the
file system's extent status cache by keeping a per-filesystem count,
instead of calculating it each time by scanning all of the inodes in
the extent status cache.

Also rename the slab used for the extent status cache to be
"ext4_extent_status" so it's obviousl the slab in question is created
by ext4.
