Hmm. I think I could eliminate the middle ext2fs_map_cluster_block() calls by
only calling it if free_start is within cluster_ratio blocks of the pre-loop
value of free_start, or if free_count < cluster_ratio. I can also split the
whole thing into three loops (pre-cluster, clusters, and post-cluster), though
for the non-bigalloc case I'd skip to the middle loop.
