Eric Sandeen 256bdb497c ext4: allocate struct ext4_allocation_context from a kmem cache
struct ext4_allocation_context is rather large, and this bloats
the stack of many functions which use it.  Allocating it from
a named slab cache will alleviate this.

For example, with this change (on top of the noinline patch sent earlier):

-ext4_mb_new_blocks		200
+ext4_mb_new_blocks		 40

-ext4_mb_free_blocks		344
+ext4_mb_free_blocks		168

-ext4_mb_release_inode_pa	216
+ext4_mb_release_inode_pa	 40

-ext4_mb_release_group_pa	192
+ext4_mb_release_group_pa	 24

Most of these stack-allocated structs are actually used only for
mballoc history; and in those cases often a smaller struct would do.
So changing that may be another way around it, at least for those
functions, if preferred.  For now, in those cases where the ac
is only for history, an allocation failure simply skips the history
recording, and does not cause any other failures.
