Changes since v2:
- In patch 3, update the chang log as Jan suggested.
- In patch 5 and 6, when moving reserved blocks count updating to
ext4_es_insert_extent(), chang the condition for determining quota
claim by passing allocation information instead of counting used
reserved blocks as Jan suggested.
- Add patch 9, drop an unused helper ext4_es_store_status().
- Add patch 10, make extent status type exclusive, add assertion and
commtents as Jan suggested.

Changes since v1:
- Just rebase to v6.11-rc1.

This patch series is the part 3 prepartory changes of the buffered IO
iomap conversion, it simplify the counting and updating logic of
delalloc reserved blocks. I picked them out from my buffered IO iomap
conversion RFC series v4[1], and did some minor improvements of commit
messages. This series is based on 6.11-rc3, after it we could save a lot
of code.

Patch 1-3 simplify the delalloc extent management logic by changes to
always set EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE flag when allocating
preallocated blocks, and don't add EXTENT_STATUS_DELAYED flag to an
unwritten extent, which means ext4_es_is_delayed() is equal to
ext4_es_is_delonly().

Patch 4-6 simplify the reserved blocks updating logic by moves the
reserved blocks updating from ext4_{ind|ext}_map_blocks() to
ext4_es_insert_extent().

Patch 7-12 make extent status type exclusive and drop the unused code
(e.g. ext4_es_is_delonly()), update comments and do some cleanup.
