So with new mount API, once we call ctx_set/clear_mount_opt2 with
EXT4_MOUNT2_MB_OPTIMIZE_SCAN, ext4_apply_options() will take care of
setting/clearing it in sbi->s_mount_**

Then with that small nit mentioned below, the patch looks good to me.
Feel free to add after addressing it.

So if we are not using this DEFAULT_MB_OPTIMIZE_SCAN macro anywhere else, then
we should just kill it's definition too in the same patch.
