Subject: [PATCH] ext4: simplify some logic in ext4_mb_normalize_request

While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple
spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined.

The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end
conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd - 
it's essentially independently testing:

	if (A + B <= C)
		...
	if (A > C)
		...

These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might
be slightly more efficient and/or informative.
