jbd2: Reserve space for revoke descriptor blocks


Extend functions for starting, extending, and restarting transaction
handles to take number of revoke records handle must be able to
accommodate. These functions then make sure transaction has enough
credits to be able to store resulting revoke descriptor blocks. Also
revoke code tracks number of revoke records created by a handle to catch
situation where some place didn't reserve enough space for revoke
records. Similarly to standard transaction credits, space for unused
reserved revoke records is released when the handle is stopped.

On the ext4 side we currently take a simplistic approach of reserving
space for 1024 revoke records for any transaction. This grows amount of
credits reserved for each handle only by a few and is enough for any
normal workload so that we don't hit warnings in jbd2. We will refine
the logic in following commits.
