I don't think you need to change s_mb_group_prealloc here and then restrict
it even further in the next patch. I'd just leave it alone here.

Also I think that limiting mb_best_avail_max_trim_order to 64 instead of
INT_MAX will make us more resilient to surprises in the future :) But I
don't really insist.
