This patch added a function named __ext4_group_extend() whose code
is copied from ext4_group_extend().  __ext4_group_extend() assumes
the parameter is valid and has been checked by caller.

__ext4_group_extend() will be used by new resize implementation. It
can also be used by ext4_group_extend(), but this patch series does
not do this.

Since this is duplicating a lot of code from ext4_group_extend(), this
patch should be written in such a way that this new function is added,
and the duplicate code is removed from ext4_group_extend() and calls
the new function instead.

It looks like all of these patches are adding a completely duplicate set
of functions for doing the resizing, even though they are largely the
same as the existing code, and it will mean duplicate efforts to maintain
both copies of the code.

YES!  This needs some feedbacks, I thought the old resize interface
will be removed after the new resize interface goes into upstream.  So
I did not touch
old interface.  If we will remain the old interface, I can make some
patches which let old resize use common code instead.

Thank you for your review.

Yes, the backwards compatibility requirements for the kernel means
that we have to keep the old ioctl's working for at least 2-3 years...

I'd be happy with just wiring up the old ioctls to the new code, and having the kernel ignore the passed parameters and just do it's own thing to resize to the end of the group.
