Subject: [PATCH 3.8 033/116] ext4: fix wrong assert in ext4_mb_normalize_request()

3.8.13.27 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@...hat.com>

commit b5b60778558cafad17bbcbf63e0310bd3c68eb17 upstream.

The variable "size" is expressed as number of blocks and not as
number of clusters, this could trigger a kernel panic when using
ext4 with the size of a cluster different from the size of a block.
