Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ext4: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@...helsinki.fi>

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext4_sb_info is 17664 bytes on 64-bit which
makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory
is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32.

To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page
in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext4_sb_info enough to
fit a 2 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 2 KB instead of 32 KB saving
14 KB of memory.
