Subject: [PATCH 02/13] ext4: mballoc: Remove useless setting of ac_criteria

From: "Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" <ritesh.list@...il.com>

There will be changes coming in future patches which will introduce a new
criteria for block allocation. This removes the useless setting of ac_criteria.
AFAIU, this might be only used to differentiate between whether a preallocated
blocks was allocated or was regular allocator called for allocating blocks.
Hence this also adds the debug prints to identify what type of block allocation
was done in ext4_mb_show_ac().
