A user with minimum journal size (1024 blocks these days) complained
about the following error triggered by generic/697 test in
ext4_tmpfile():

run fstests generic/697 at 2024-02-28 05:34:46
JBD2: vfstest wants too many credits credits:260 rsv_credits:0 max:256
EXT4-fs error (device loop0) in __ext4_new_inode:1083: error 28

Indeed the credit estimate in ext4_tmpfile() is huge.
EXT4_MAXQUOTAS_INIT_BLOCKS() is 219, then 10 credits from ext4_tmpfile()
itself and then ext4_xattr_credits_for_new_inode() adds more credits
needed for security attributes and ACLs. Now the
EXT4_MAXQUOTAS_INIT_BLOCKS() is in fact unnecessary because we've
already initialized quotas with dquot_init() shortly before and so
EXT4_MAXQUOTAS_TRANS_BLOCKS() is enough (which boils down to 3 credits).

Fixes: af51a2ac36d1 ("ext4: ->tmpfile() support")

FWIW, I've run generic/697 with a 1GiB device, with a block size of 65536.
Without this patch the test fails.  Feel free to add my

Thanks for the fix patch. I have tested the patch on a power machine with smaller
disk and journal size, generic/697 test passed (for both bs<ps and bs=ps) and no
longer seeing the error.
