ocfs2: Optionally limit extent size in ocfs2_insert_extent()

In xattr bucket, we want to limit the maximum size of a btree leaf,
otherwise we'll lose the benefits of hashing because we'll have to search
large leaves.

So add a new field in ocfs2_extent_tree which indicates the maximum leaf cluster
size we want so that we can prevent ocfs2_insert_extent() from merging the leaf
record even if it is contiguous with an adjacent record.

Other btree types are not affected by this change.
