[PATCH 5 of 8] Make ext3 safe for the new DIO locking rules

[Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>]

This creates a version of ext3_get_block that starts and ends a transaction.

By starting and ending the transaction inside get_block, this is able to
avoid lock inversion problems when the DIO code tries to take page locks
inside blockdev_direct_IO. (transaction locks must always happen after
page locks).
