The BUG code told that extent tree wants to grow but no metadata was
reserved ahead of time.
>From my investigation into this issue, the root cause it that although
enough metadata is reserved, rightmost extent is merged into left one due
to a certain times of marking extent written. Because during marking
extent written, we got many physically continuous extents. At last, an
empty extent showed up and the rightmost path is removed from extent tree.
In order to solve this issue, introduce a member named ::et_lock for
extent tree. When ocfs2_lock_allocators is invoked and we indeed need to
reserve metadata, set ::et_lock so that the rightmost path won't be
removed during marking extents written.
Also, this patch address the issue John reported that ::dw_zero_count is
not calculated properly.
After applying this patch, the issue John reported was gone. Thanks to
the reproducer provided by John. And this patch has passed ocfs2-test
suite running by New H3C Group.
