Revert "ext4: add new pending reservation mechanism"
This reverts commit 9bacbb4c which is commit 1dc0aa46e74a3366e12f426b7caaca477853e9c3 upstream. Eric writes: I recommend not backporting this patch or the other three patches apparently intended to support it to 4.19 stable. All these patches are related to ext4's bigalloc feature, which was experimental as of 4.19 (expressly noted by contemporary versions of e2fsprogs) and also suffered from a number of bugs. A significant number of additional patches that were applied to 5.X kernels over time would have to be backported to 4.19 for the patch below to function correctly. It's really not worth doing that given bigalloc's experimental status as of 4.19 and the very rare combination of the bigalloc and inline features.
