ext4: journal credits reservation fixes for extent file writepage

This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit calculation for
extent files, to use the credits caculation helper function.

The current calculation of how many index/leaf blocks should be
accounted is too conservetive, it always considered the worse case,
where the tree level is 5, and in the case of multiple chunk
allocations, it always assumed no blocks were dirtied in common across
the allocations. This path uses the accurate depth of the inode with
some extras to calculate the index blocks, and also less conservative in
the case of multiple allocation accounting.
