Subject: [PATCH] ext4: reserve metadata block for every delayed write

Currently we only reserve space (data+metadata) in delayed allocation if
we're allocating from new cluster (which is always in non-bigalloc file
system) which is ok for data blocks, because we reserve the whole cluster.

However we have to reserve metadata for every delayed block we're going
to write because every block could potentially require metedata block
when we need to grow the extent tree.
