Now that setting up large filesystem testing on sparse loopback
devices uses a generic method for filling the filesystem, extent
support to ext4 filesystems.

ext4 is slightly more complex to fill as it does not support files
larger than 16TB. Hence a slightly more complex method of using
multiple smaller files to fill the space is necessary.

WARNING: be prepeared for ext4 to take forever to prepare large
filesystems as allocation of large amounts of space (especially as
it approaches ENOSPC) is can take minutes rather than milliseconds
