Subject: [PATCH v2 20/20] ext4: simplify calculation of blkoff in ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple

We calculate blkoff for groups as following:
		ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(sb,
			max(ext4_group_first_block_no(sb, group), goal),
			NULL, &blkoff);

For first group, the blkoff is already calculated before loop, so this
is redundant.
For groups after first group which contains goal, the result of
max(...) above is always ext4_group_first_block_no(sb, group). The
blkoff of first block in group is always 0, so blkoff of groups after
the first group which contains goal is always 0.
So we can clean blkoff calculation as following:
1. Remove blkoff calculation above to remove repeat calculation of
first group.
2. Set blkoff to 0 to set blkoff for groups after first group.
