ocfs2_move_extent() logic will validate the goal_offset_in_block,
where extents to be moved, what's more, it also compromises a bit
to probe the appropriate region around given goal_offset when the
original goal is not able to fit the movement.

Before doing the movement of extents, we'd better probe the alloc group from
'goal_blk' for searching a contiguous region to fit the wanted movement, we
even will have a best-effort try by compromising to a threshold around the
given goal.

First best-effort attempt to validate and adjust the goal (physical address in
block), while it can't guarantee later operation can succeed all the time since
global_bitmap may change a bit over time.

This function tries locate the right alloc group, where a given physical block
resides, it returns the caller a buffer_head of victim group descriptor, and also
the offset of block in this group, by passing the block number.

It's a relatively complete function to accomplish defragmentation for entire
or partial extent, one journal handle was kept during the operation, it was
logically doing one more thing than ocfs2_move_extent() acutally, yes, it's
claiming the new clusters itself;-)

The moving range of __ocfs2_move_extent() was within one extent always, it
consists following parts:
1. Duplicates the clusters in pages to new_blkoffset, where extent to be moved.
2. Split the original extent with new extent, coalecse the nearby extents if possible.
3. Append old clusters to truncate log, or decrease_refcount if the extent was refcounted.

ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() was like the common ocfs2_lock_allocators(),
to lock metadata and data alloctors during extents moving, reserve appropriate
metadata blocks and data clusters, also performa a best- effort to calculate the
credits for journal transaction in one run of movement.
