ext4: add sysfs attr /sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/journal_task

This is useful for moving journal thread into cgroup or
for tracing it with ftrace/perf/blktrace.

For now the only way is `pgrep jbd2/$DISK` but this is not reliable:
name may be longer than "comm" limit and any task could mock it.

Attribute shows pid in current pid-namespace or 0 if task is unreachable.

ext4: make the zero-out chunk size tunable

Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.

So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

ext4: teach the inode allocator to use a goal inode number

Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a
paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or
parent directory inode allocation algorithms.

The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the
extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg.
In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to
allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes.

Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via
/sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode
allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.
