ext4: journal credits reservation fixes for DIO, fallocate

DIO and fallocate credit calculation is different than writepage, as
they do start a new journal right for each call to ext4_get_blocks_wrap().
This patch uses the helper function in DIO and fallocate case, passing
a flag indicating that the modified data are contigous thus could account
less indirect/index blocks.

This patch also fixed the journal credit reservation for direct I/O
(DIO).  Previously the estimated credits for DIO only was calculated for
non-extent files, which was not enough if the file is extent-based.

Also fixed was fallocate double-counting credits for modifying the the
superblock.
