So far ext4_meta_trans_blocks() expects that each extent counted in @pextents will be allocated in the transaction we estimate credits for. This is correct for the use in ext4_chunk_trans_blocks() and ext4_chunk_trans_extent() however the use in atomic write path (ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_atomic() and ext4_iomap_alloc() for IOMAP_ATOMIC) unnecessarily overestimates the number of necessary credits as neither of them allocates any data. Add argument to ext4_meta_trans_blocks() for number of extents that are going to be allocated in the transaction.
