[ 059/150] GFS2: Get a block reservation before resizing a file

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d2b47cfb26fe06002b8011707baac71a9ae8166f upstream.

This patch allocates a block reservation structure before growing
or shrinking a file. Without this structure, the grow or shink code
can reference the bad pointer.
