Fast commit recovery data on disk may not be aligned. So, when the
recovery code reads it, this patch makes sure that fast commit info
found on-disk is first memcpy-ed into an aligned variable before
accessing it. As a consequence of it, we also remove some macros that
could resulted in unaligned accesses.

Using no_printk() for jbd_debug() revealed two warnings:
fs/jbd2/recovery.c: In function 'fc_do_one_pass':
fs/jbd2/recovery.c:256:30: error: format '%d' expects a matching 'int' argument [-Werror=format=]
256 | jbd_debug(3, "Processing fast commit blk with seq %d");
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/ext4/fast_commit.c: In function 'ext4_fc_replay_add_range':
fs/ext4/fast_commit.c:1732:30: error: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 2 has type 'long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
1732 | jbd_debug(1, "Converting from %d to %d %lld",
The first one was added incorrectly, and was also missing a few newlines
in debug output, and the second one happened when the type of an
argument changed.

This patch adds rename whiteout support in fast commits. Note that the
whiteout object that gets created is actually char device. Which
imples, the function ext4_inode_journal_mode(struct inode *inode)
would return "JOURNAL_DATA" for this inode. This has a consequence in
fast commit code that it will make creation of the whiteout object a
fast-commit ineligible behavior and thus will fall back to full
commits. With this patch, this can be observed by running fast commits
with rename whiteout and seeing the stats generated by ext4_fc_stats
tracepoint as follows:
ext4_fc_stats: dev 254:32 fc ineligible reasons:
XATTR:0, CROSS_RENAME:0, JOURNAL_FLAG_CHANGE:0, NO_MEM:0, SWAP_BOOT:0,
RESIZE:0, RENAME_DIR:0, FALLOC_RANGE:0, INODE_JOURNAL_DATA:16;
num_commits:6, ineligible: 6, numblks: 3
So in short, this patch guarantees that in case of rename whiteout, we
fall back to full commits.
Amir mentioned that instead of creating a new whiteout object for
every rename, we can create a static whiteout object with irrelevant
nlink. That will make fast commits to not fall back to full
commit. But until this happens, this patch will ensure correctness by
falling back to full commits.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"Miscellaneous ext4 cleanups and bug fixes. Pretty boring this cycle..."
* tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
ext4: add .kunitconfig fragment to enable ext4-specific tests
ext: EXT4_KUNIT_TESTS should depend on EXT4_FS instead of selecting it
ext4: reset retry counter when ext4_alloc_file_blocks() makes progress
ext4: fix potential htree index checksum corruption
ext4: factor out htree rep invariant check
ext4: Change list_for_each* to list_for_each_entry*
ext4: don't try to processed freed blocks until mballoc is initialized
ext4: use DEFINE_MUTEX() for mutex lock
Fast commit on-disk format is designed such that the replay of these
tags can be idempotent. This patch adds documentation in the code in
form of comments and in form kernel docs that describes these
characteristics. This patch also adds a TODO item needed to ensure
kernel fast commit replay idempotence.

This patch removes jbd2_fc_init() API and its related functions to
simplify enabling fast commits. With this change, the number of fast
commit blocks to use is solely determined by the JBD2 layer. So, we
move the default value for minimum number of fast commit blocks from
ext4/fast_commit.h to include/linux/jbd2.h. However, whether or not to
use fast commits is determined by the file system. The file system
just sets the fast commit feature using
jbd2_journal_set_features(). JBD2 layer then determines how many
blocks to use for fast commits (based on the value found in the JBD2
superblock).
Note that the JBD2 feature flag of fast commits is just an indication
that there are fast commit blocks present on disk. It doesn't tell
JBD2 layer about the intent of the file system of whether to it wants
to use fast commit or not. That's why, we blindly clear the fast
commit flag in journal_reset() after the recovery is done.

Firstly, pass handle to all ext4_fc_track_* functions and use
transaction id found in handle->h_transaction->h_tid for tracking fast
commit updates. Secondly, don't pass inode to
ext4_fc_track_link/create/unlink functions. inode can be found inside
these functions as d_inode(dentry). However, rename path is an
exeception. That's because in that case, we need inode that's not same
as d_inode(dentry). To handle that, add a couple of low-level wrapper
functions that take inode and dentry as arguments.

If inode gets evicted due to memory pressure, we have to remove it
from the fast commit list. However, that inode may have uncommitted
changes that fast commits will lose. So, just fall back to full
commits in this case. Also, rename the fast commit ineligiblity reason
from "EXT4_FC_REASON_MEM" to "EXT4_FC_REASON_MEM_NOMEM" for better
expression.
