ext4: fix 32bit overflow in ext4_ext_find_goal()



ext4_ext_find_goal() returns an ideal physical block number that the block
allocator tries to allocate first. However, if a required file offset is
smaller than the existing extent's one, ext4_ext_find_goal() returns
a wrong block number because it may overflow at
"block - le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block)". This patch fixes the problem.

ext4_ext_find_goal() will also return a wrong block number in case
a file offset of the existing extent is too big. In this case,
the ideal physical block number is fixed in ext4_mb_initialize_context(),
so it's no problem.

reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/tmp bs=127M count=1 oflag=sync
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 seek=1 oflag=sync
# filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file
Filesystem type is: ef53
File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096)
 ext logical physical expected length flags
   0     128    67456             128 eof
/mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found
# rm -rf /mnt/mp1/tmp
# echo $((512*4096)) > /sys/fs/ext4/loop0/mb_stream_req
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 oflag=sync conv=notrunc

result (linux-2.6.37-rc2 + ext4 patch queue):
# filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file
Filesystem type is: ef53
File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096)
 ext logical physical expected length flags
   0       0    33280             128 
   1     128    67456    33407    128 eof
/mnt/mp1/file: 2 extents found

result(apply this patch):
# filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file

File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096)
