Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Don't allow lg prealloc list to be grow large.
Currently locality group prealloc list is freed only when there is a block allocation
failure. This can result in large number of per cpu locality group prealloc space
and also make the ext4_mb_use_preallocated expensive. Convert the locality group
prealloc list to a hash list. The hash index is the order of number of blocks
in the prealloc space with a max order of 9. When adding prealloc space to the
list we make sure total entries for each order does not exceed 8. If it is more
than 8 we discard few entries and make sure the we have only <= 5 entries.
