    ext4: calculate journal credits correctly · ac51d837

    This fixes a 2.6.27 regression which was introduced in commit a02908f1.
    
    We weren't passing the chunk parameter down to the two subections,
    ext4_indirect_trans_blocks() and ext4_ext_index_trans_blocks(), with
    the result that massively overestimate the amount of credits needed by
    ext4_da_writepages, especially in the non-extents case.  This causes
    failures especially on /boot partitions, which tend to be small and
    non-extent using since GRUB doesn't handle extents.
