            >>> start + size <= ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical
           ext4_mb_regular_allocator
            ext4_mb_simple_scan_group
             ext4_mb_use_best_found
              ext4_mb_new_preallocation
               ext4_mb_new_inode_pa
                ext4_mb_use_inode_pa
                 >>> set ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len <= 0
           ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used
            >>> BUG_ON(ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len <= 0);

we can easily reproduce this problem with the following commands:
	`fallocate -l100M disk`
	`mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 -g 256 disk`
	`mount disk /mnt`
	`fsstress -d /mnt -l 0 -n 1000 -p 1`

The size must be smaller than or equal to EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP.
Therefore, "start + size <= ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical" may occur
when the size is truncated. So start should be the start position of
the group where ac_o_ex.fe_logical is located after alignment.
In addition, when the value of fe_logical or EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP
is very large, the value calculated by start_off is more accurate.

V1->V2:
	Replace round_down() with rounddown().
	Modified comments.
V2->V3:
	Convert EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP type to ext4_lblk_t
	to avoid compilation warnings.
