ext4: Support for checksumming from journal triggers

JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves
buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets
called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the
journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as
does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the
checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be
caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are
unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data.

So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to
ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so
that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to
ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function
for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of
the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming
will come later.
