[PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: support multiple blocks allocation in ext3_new_block()
Change ext3_try_to_allocate() (called via ext3_new_blocks()) to try to
allocate the requested number of blocks on a best effort basis: After
allocated the first block, it will always attempt to allocate the next few(up
to the requested size and not beyond the reservation window) adjacent blocks
at the same time.
