ext4: avoid overlapping preallocations due to overflow

commit bedc5d34

 upstream.

Let's say we want to allocate 2 blocks starting from 4294966386, after
predicting the file size, start is aligned to 4294965248, len is changed
to 2048, then end = start + size = 0x100000000. Since end is of
type ext4_lblk_t, i.e. uint, end is truncated to 0.

This causes (pa->pa_lstart >= end) to always hold when checking if the
current extent to be allocated crosses already preallocated blocks, so the
resulting ac_g_ex may cross already preallocated blocks. Hence we convert
the end type to loff_t and use pa_logical_end() to avoid overflow.
