The undo manager is mostly OK, but the large inode migration is
extremely unsatisfactory, given that it halves the number of inodes and
only works if the no more than 50% of the inodes in every single block
group is used. As a standalone kludge it may be OK, but the right thing
to do is to allocate more blocks for the inode table.
We don't do that.

As a part of increasing the inode size we increase the
inode table size. We also move the used data blocks around
and update the respective inodes to point to the new block
....
We are right now increasing the inode table size moving the data blocks around
and fixing the inodes to point to right data blocks.
