ext4: add a function merging extents right and left

1) Rename ext4_ext_try_to_merge() to ext4_ext_try_to_merge_right().

2) Add a new function ext4_ext_try_to_merge() which tries to merge
   an extent both left and right.

3) Use the new function in ext4_ext_convert_unwritten_endio() and
   ext4_ext_insert_extent().
