Deallocation of suballocator blocks, most notably extent blocks, might
involve multiple suballocator inodes.The locking for this can get extremely complicated, especially when the
suballocator inodes to delete from aren't known until deep within an
unrelated codepath.Implement a simple scheme for recording the blocks to be unlinked so that
the actual deallocation can be done in a context which won't deadlock.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

This is mostly a search and replace as ocfs2_journal_handle is now no more
than a container for a handle_t pointer.ocfs2_commit_trans() becomes very straight forward, and we remove some out
of date comments / code.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Instead we record our state on the allocation context structure which all
callers already know about and lifetime correctly. This means the
reservation functions don't need a handle passed in any more, and we can
also take it off the alloc context.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Record the most recently used allocation group on the allocation context, so
that subsequent allocations can attempt to optimize for contiguousness.
Local alloc especially should benefit from this as the current chain search
tends to let it spew across the disk.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh
