ext4: mballoc: refactor ext4_mb_good_group()
ext4_mb_good_group() definition was changed some time back and now it even initializes the buddy cache (via ext4_mb_init_group()), if in case the EXT4_MB_GRP_NEED_INIT() is true for a group. Note that ext4_mb_init_group() could sleep and so should not be called under a spinlock held. This is fine as of now because ext4_mb_good_group() is called before loading the buddy bitmap without ext4_lock_group() held and again called after loading the bitmap, only this time with ext4_lock_group() held. But still this whole thing is confusing. So this patch refactors out ext4_mb_good_group_nolock() which should be called when without holding ext4_lock_group(). Also in further patches we hold the spinlock (ext4_lock_group()) while doing any calculations which involves grp->bb_free or grp->bb_fragments.
