ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount option

Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.

mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint
