NOT READY FOR MERGE!!!!!!
Limiting block allocations to a high watermark will eventually enable us
to perform online shrinks of an ext4 filesystem. As an immediate
benefit it'll prevent allocation of blocks in the high range, which if
performed as a precursor to an offline filesystem shrink will help to
reduce the overall time a filesystem needs to be taken offline in order
to shrink it.
(possible) shortcomings:
Currently this tunable does not get stored to the superblock, and thus
needs to be set again after each mount.
The ext4_statfs function doesn't adjust the f_bavail value currently, as
such df will report incorrect results.
The inode allocator hasn't been synced yet.
