Theodore Ts'o eb13c60d82 ext4: make sure enough credits are reserved for dioread_nolock writes
commit 812c0cab2c upstream.

There are enough credits reserved for most dioread_nolock writes;
however, if the extent tree is sufficiently deep, and/or quota is
enabled, the code was not allowing for all eventualities when
reserving journal credits for the unwritten extent conversion.

This problem can be seen using xfstests ext4/034:
