commit a9f2a2931d0e197ab28c6007966053fdababd53f upstream.

Curently we don't use any preallocation when a file is already closed
when allocating blocks (from writeback code when converting delayed
allocation). However for small files, using locality group preallocation
is actually desirable as that is not specific to a particular file.
Rather it is a method to pack small files together to reduce
fragmentation and for that the fact the file is closed is actually even
stronger hint the file would benefit from packing. So change the logic
to allow locality group preallocation in this case.

Fixes: 196e402adf2e ("ext4: improve cr 0 / cr 1 group scanning")
