Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: Make mb_optimize_scan option work with set/unset mount cmd

After moving to the new mount API, mb_optimize_scan mount option
handling was not working as expected due to the parsed value always
being overwritten by default. Refactor and fix this to the expected
behavior described below:

* mb_optimize_scan=1 - On
* mb_optimize_scan=0 - Off
* mb_optimize_scan not passed - On if no. of BGs > threshold else off
* Remounts retain previous value unless we explicitly pass the option
with a new value

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: Make mb_optimize_scan performance mount option work with extents

Currently mb_optimize_scan scan feature which improves filesystem
performance heavily (when FS is fragmented), seems to be not working
with files with extents (ext4 by default has files with extents).

This patch fixes that and makes mb_optimize_scan feature work
for files with extents.

Below are some performance numbers obtained when allocating a 10M and 100M
file with and w/o this patch on a filesytem with no 1M contiguous block.

So with new mount API, once we call ctx_set/clear_mount_opt2 with
EXT4_MOUNT2_MB_OPTIMIZE_SCAN, ext4_apply_options() will take care of
setting/clearing it in sbi->s_mount_**

Then with that small nit mentioned below, the patch looks good to me.
Feel free to add after addressing it.

So if we are not using this DEFAULT_MB_OPTIMIZE_SCAN macro anywhere else, then
we should just kill it's definition too in the same patch.
