Are you sure about this?

 ext4_ext_calc_credits_for_single_extent is actually only called from
migration and defrag with this set of changes now. In the
data=journalling mode, since we move data around (for migration and
defrag),  I think we still need to log the data buffers. I might be
over-causous.
