This patch adds main fast commit commit path handlers. The overall
patch can be divided into two inter-related parts:

(A) Metadata updates tracking

     This part consists of helper functions to track changes that need
     to be committed during a commit operation. These updates are
     maintained by Ext4 in different in-memory queues. Following are
     the APIs and their short description that are implemented in this
     patch:

     - ext4_fc_track_link/unlink/creat() - Track unlink. link and creat
       operations
     - ext4_fc_track_range() - Track changed logical block offsets
       inodes
     - ext4_fc_track_inode() - Track inodes
     - ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() - Mark file system fast commit
       ineligible()
     - ext4_fc_start_update() / ext4_fc_stop_update() /
       ext4_fc_start_ineligible() / ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() These
       functions are useful for co-ordinating inode updates with
       commits.

(B) Main commit Path

     This part consists of functions to convert updates tracked in
     in-memory data structures into on-disk commits. Function
     ext4_fc_commit() is the main entry point to commit path.

+ * Ext4 Fast Commits
+ * -----------------
+ *
+ * Ext4 fast commits implement fine grained journalling for Ext4.
+ *
+ * Fast commits are organized as a log of tag-length-value (TLV) structs. (See
+ * struct ext4_fc_tl). Each TLV contains some delta that is replayed TLV by
+ * TLV during the recovery phase. For the scenarios for which we currently
+ * don't have replay code, fast commit falls back to full commits.
+ * Fast commits record delta in one of the following three categories.
+ *
+ * (A) Directory entry updates:
+ *
+ * - EXT4_FC_TAG_UNLINK		- records directory entry unlink
+ * - EXT4_FC_TAG_LINK		- records directory entry link
+ * - EXT4_FC_TAG_CREAT		- records inode and directory entry creation
+ *
+ * (B) File specific data range updates:
+ *
+ * - EXT4_FC_TAG_ADD_RANGE	- records addition of new blocks to an inode
+ * - EXT4_FC_TAG_DEL_RANGE	- recordd deletion of blocks from an inode

s/recordd/records


+ *
+ * (C) Inode metadata (mtime / ctime etc):
+ *
+ * - EXT4_FC_TAG_INODE_FULL	- record the inode that should be replayed as is
+ *				  during recovery. This tag is useful for
+ *				  setting up a new inode. This tag is necessary
+ *				  for CREAT tag.
+ * - EXT4_FC_TAG_INODE_PARTIAL	- record the inode that should only partially be
+ *				  be replayed during recovery. This tag is
+ *				  useful when the same inode has had updates
+ *				  recorded as ADD_RANGE or DEL_RANGE tags.

So we keep INODE_FULL to only track the inode metdata.
and PARTIAL is to track for any extent add/del range operations right?
Is there anything else that I am missing?


+ *
+ * Commit Operation
+ * ----------------
+ * With fast commits, we maintain all the directory entry operations in the
+ * order in which they are issued in an in-memory queue. This queue is flushed
+ * to disk during the commit operation. We also maintain a list of inodes
+ * that need to be committed during a fast commit in another in memory queue of
+ * inodes. During the commit operation, we commit in the following order:
+ *
+ * [1] Lock inodes for any further data updates by setting COMMITTING state
+ * [2] Submit data buffers of all the inodes
+ * [3] Wait for [2] to complete
+ * [4] Commit all the directory entry updates in the fast commit space
+ * [5] Commit all the changed inode structures
+ * [6] Write tail tag (this tag ensures the atomicity, please read the following
+ *     section for more details).
+ * [7] Wait for [4], [5] and [6] to complete.
+ *
+ * All the inode updates must call ext4_fc_start_update() before starting an
+ * update. If such an ongoing update is present, fast commit waits for it to
+ * complete. The completion of such an update is marked by
+ * ext4_fc_stop_update().
+ *
+ * Fast Commit Ineligibility
+ * -------------------------
+ * Not all operations are supported by fast commits today (e.g extended
+ * attributes). Fast commit ineligiblity is marked by calling one of the
+ * two following functions:
+ *
+ * - ext4_fc_mark_ineligible(): This makes next fast commit operation to fall
+ *   back to full commit. This is useful in case of transient errors.
+ *
+ * - ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() - This makes all
+ *   the fast commits happening between ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and
+ *   ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() and one fast commit after the call to
+ *   ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() to fall back to full commits. It is important to
+ *   make one more fast commit to fall back to full commit after stop call so
+ *   that it guaranteed that the fast commit ineligible operation contained
+ *   within ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() is
+ *   followed by at least 1 full commit.
+ *
+ * Atomicity of commits
+ * --------------------
+ * In order to gaurantee atomicity during the commit operation, fast commit
+ * uses "EXT4_FC_TAG_TAIL" tag that marks a fast commit as complete. Tail
+ * tag contains CRC of the contents and TID of the transaction after which
+ * this fast commit should be applied. Recovery code replays fast commit
+ * logs only if there's at least 1 valid tail present. For every fast commit
+ * operation, there is 1 tail. This means, we may end up with multiple tails
+ * in the fast commit space. Here's an example:
+ *
+ * - Create a new file A and remove existing file B
+ * - fsync()
+ * - Append contents to file A
+ * - Truncate file A
+ * - fsync()
+ *
+ * The fast commit space at the end of above operations would look like this:
+ *      [HEAD] [CREAT A] [UNLINK B] [TAIL] [ADD_RANGE A] [DEL_RANGE A] [TAIL]
+ *             |<---  Fast Commit 1   --->|<---      Fast Commit 2     ---->|
+ *
+ * Replay code should thus check for all the valid tails in the FC area.
+ *
+ * TODOs
+ * -----
+ * 1) Make fast commit atomic updates more fine grained. Today, a fast commit
+ *    eligible update must be protected within ext4_fc_start_update() and
+ *    ext4_fc_stop_update(). These routines are called at much higher
+ *    routines. This can be made more fine grained by combining with
+ *    ext4_journal_start().
+ *
+ * 2) Same above for ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and ext4_fc_stop_ineligible()
+ *
+ * 3) Handle more ineligible cases.
