Subject: [PATCH updated] ext4: Use an rb tree for tracking blocks freed during transaction.

With this patch we track the block freed during a transaction using
rb tree. We also make sure contiguos blocks freed are collected
in one rb node.

The change from the last version is to add proper locking
when adding the new extents to active_transaction list.

/* Add the extent to active_transaction list */
+ spin_lock(&sbi->s_md_lock);
list_add(&new_entry->list, &sbi->s_active_transaction);
+ spin_unlock(&sbi->s_md_lock);
