ext4: Add allocation criteria 1.5 (CR1_5)
CR1_5 aims to optimize allocations which can't be satisfied in CR1. The fact that we couldn't find a group in CR1 suggests that it would be difficult to find a continuous extent to compleltely satisfy our allocations. So before falling to the slower CR2, in CR1.5 we proactively trim the the preallocations so we can find a group with (free / fragments) big enough. This speeds up our allocation at the cost of slightly reduced preallocation. The patch also adds a new sysfs tunable: * /sys/fs/ext4/<partition>/mb_cr1_5_max_trim_order This controls how much CR1.5 can trim a request before falling to CR2. For example, for a request of order 7 and max trim order 2, CR1.5 can trim this upto order 5.
