Subject: [PATCH 19/21] ext4: remove repeat assignment to ac_f_ex

Call trace to assign ac_f_ex:
ext4_mb_use_best_found
	ac->ac_f_ex = ac->ac_b_ex;
	ext4_mb_new_preallocation
		ext4_mb_new_group_pa
			ac->ac_f_ex = ac->ac_b_ex;
		ext4_mb_new_inode_pa
			ac->ac_f_ex = ac->ac_b_ex;

Actually allocated blocks is already stored in ac_f_ex in
ext4_mb_use_best_found, so there is no need to assign ac_f_ex
in ext4_mb_new_group_pa and ext4_mb_new_inode_pa.
Just remove repeat assignment to ac_f_ex in ext4_mb_new_group_pa
and ext4_mb_new_inode_pa.
