ext4: Introduce ext4_lblk_t
This patch adds a new data type ext4_lblk_t to represent
the logical file blocks.
This is the preparatory patch to support large files in ext4
The follow up patch with convert the ext4_inode i_blocks to
represent the number of blocks in file system block size. This
changes makes it possible to have a block number 2**32 -1 which
will result in overflow if the block number is represented by
signed long. This patch convert all the block number to type
ext4_lblk_t which is typedef to __u32
Also remove dead code ext4_ext_walk_space
