Subject: [PATCH 4.9 015/245] ext4: fix avefreec in find_group_orlov

From: Pan Dong <pandong.peter@...edance.com>

commit c89849cc0259f3d33624cc3bd127685c3c0fa25d upstream.

The avefreec should be average free clusters instead
of average free blocks, otherwize Orlov's allocator
will not work properly when bigalloc enabled.
