Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: refactor size prediction into helper functions

The ext4_mb_normalize_request() function contains a large if-else
ladder for predicting file size and uses a macro NRL_CHECK_SIZE.
Factor these out into proper helper functions to improve code
readability and maintainability.

This patch introduces:
- ext4_mb_check_size(): static inline function replacing NRL_CHECK_SIZE macro
- ext4_mb_predict_file_size(): extracts size prediction logic

No functional change.
