Jan Kara 4fca50d440 ext4: make mballoc try target group first even with mb_optimize_scan
One of the side-effects of mb_optimize_scan was that the optimized
functions to select next group to try were called even before we tried
the goal group. As a result we no longer allocate files close to
corresponding inodes as well as we don't try to expand currently
allocated extent in the same group. This results in reaim regression
with workfile.disk workload of upto 8% with many clients on my test
machine:

                     baseline               mb_optimize_scan
Hmean     disk-1       2114.16 (   0.00%)     2099.37 (  -0.70%)
Hmean     disk-41     87794.43 (   0.00%)    83787.47 *  -4.56%*
Hmean     disk-81    148170.73 (   0.00%)   135527.05 *  -8.53%*
Hmean     disk-121   177506.11 (   0.00%)   166284.93 *  -6.32%*
Hmean     disk-161   220951.51 (   0.00%)   207563.39 *  -6.06%*
Hmean     disk-201   208722.74 (   0.00%)   203235.59 (  -2.63%)
Hmean     disk-241   222051.60 (   0.00%)   217705.51 (  -1.96%)
Hmean     disk-281   252244.17 (   0.00%)   241132.72 *  -4.41%*
Hmean     disk-321   255844.84 (   0.00%)   245412.84 *  -4.08%*

Also this is causing huge regression (time increased by a factor of 5 or
so) when untarring archive with lots of small files on some eMMC storage
cards.

Fix the problem by making sure we try goal group first.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
