ext4: make the zero-out chunk size tunable
Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will unnecessarily grow the extent tree. So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.
