With the below changes we reserve credit needed to insert only one extent
resulting from a call to single get_block. That make sure we don't take
too much journal credits during writeout. We also don't limit the pages
to write. That means we loop through the dirty pages building largest
possible contiguous block request. Then we issue a single get_block request.
We may get less block that we requested. If so we would end up not mapping
some of the buffer_heads. That means those buffer_heads are still marked delay.
Later in the writepage callback via __mpage_writepage we redirty those pages.
